The SR22T is a very capable aircraft, and an extremely expensive one. It has sold well not least because of Cirrus marketing it to well off individuals as a very efficient transport solution. Some owners even learn to fly on these complex aircraft. The parachute, highly advanced avionics and pretty solid training options have made the aircraft an attractive and accessible option. The downside is that there are people with not a lot of real hands on flying experience operating them. I deliberately use the word operating rather than flying. As a retired airline captain I was impressed by how similar the experience was to flying a jet. You log a lot of time in a Cirrus with the autopilot on and at 400 euros plus an hour they are not really that attractive an option for doing circuits, however much money you have. But I intend to do a few more than I usually would now the flying season is upon us.
