We flew the airplane from NC to TX (1,000NM) every other month. I sold the plane because we moved to DC for an advanced degreee and I didn't want the burden of hangering a plane 1 hour away, etc. My annuals (including deferred maintenance - like updating 430's) cost no more than $3500. I bought my 2006 G2 in 2009 for $165k, I had it for 2 years. None are as wide, have the # of doors, the ease of maintenance, the parachute and the cost factor of the Cirrus. Now that we have out grown a Cirrus (except Cirrus Jet) we are looking at other airplanes, but none of them compare to the Cirrus. It was a great first plane that spoiled my family and me.
#Cirrus sr20 price plus#
The only thing you didn't mention was payload, but as long as you're not carrying more than two adults plus baggage, the 20 should be fine in that area. Those two issues, along with the extra years of wear abd tear, are the main reasons for the higher prices for the G3 planes.įinally, an SR20 should be a perfectly good plane for the shorter missions, but you may wish for more speed for the 1000 mile trips. The G3 also has the longer landing gear, making it a bit easier to make consistently good landings without risking nosewheel-first or tail skagging landings. The G1 will either be steam gauges or the original Avidyne display with dual Garmin 430's, while the G3 will have the entirely glass G1000 or Perspective avionics suite. The biggest differences between the G1 and G3 SR20's are the avionics and the landing gear. That said, if the OP is going to lease it back, s/he will either be at the mercy of the schedule of other pilots signing up to use the plane, or by preempting other pilots will discourage its use by those others one will have a significant impact on utility, the other on financial considerations.
Next aircraft will likely be a Mooney Ovation3 or a Bonanza A36.Ĭlick to expand.Probably not much market to lease back a Comanche or Mooney for rental when the owner isn't flying it, so those are probably nonstarters for the OP. I too was considering a Cirrus G2 and the more I did my due diligence the less I wanted a Cirrus. Unless you are hellbent on nothing but a Cirrus, you will find much better, equipped aircraft that will cost you less to use and operate. This might be an interesting read for you. The Cirrus chutes will need to be repacked based on age (I think). The older Cirrus aircraft has some caveats you need to be aware of some glass avionics may no longer be supported and or updatable. Lastly, new owners tend to forget the associated incidentals (Hangar, Insurance, annual, databases,) with aircraft ownership. Your mission profile allows you to move into a variety of aircraft that will meet your needs while keeping operating expenses in check. More than likely you will be required to go through a CPPP: Cirrus is not looked upon favorably in the Insurance market and the aircraft commands a high dollar premium as well as required hours in type.
Let me explain my situation and what I plan to do with the plane: Hi all, newbie here and I'm considering my first plane.
