If you fly the cirrus to the numbers in the POH it's a pleasure to fly.

If you try and land too fast or slow it will cause potential problems but if you cross the threshold at V ref it's fine.

I have not enjoyed flying any craft more than the SR 20 I am currently privileged enough to fly and have done just over a 100 hours in it.

It's a pleasure for short hops but is best when you set course for France or somewhere distant. We usually get 145 kts TAS and you can cross long distances comfortably.

It's an absolute joy to fly, but I am quite glad I spent a few years in pa28 and arrows etc so I can now truly appreciate what you can do with cirrus.

And I can can get mrs eb into this craft. In everything else she doesn't think it's up to the job.
