Newbie looking to upgrade to Cirrus
Very well put taxistaxing!
To add to that. I'm sure the 10 hours required to be signed off on the cirrus is just an insurance requirement that the pilot must have at least 10 hours on type in the last 12 months. Therefore once you have shown yourself to be proficient inoperating the aircraft, which in my experience is in most cases is less than 5 hours, the remainder of the 10 hours could be spent as an intro to CPL level handling and navigation. Or could be counted toward an IMC course ( if instructor can teach IMC).
Good luck whichever route you choose.
