Cruise Performance & Specs

At 75% power at 8,000 ft, the Cirrus SR22 (2001–2012, 3,400 lb) trues 180 KTAS on 17.8 gal/hr. Every other published setting is in the table below — not a single brochure number.

The 3,400 lb airplane, S/N 0002–3914 — TCDS A00009CH splits the SR22 by serial at 3915, above which it is the 3,600 lb airplane with different limits. Cruise data from POH P/N 13772-002 Reissue A (serials 2979, 2992, 3002, 3026 and subsequent — the G3 wing) at 2,900 lb.
