Cirrus SR22T Platinum

The Cirrus SR22 is a four or five seat light aircraft which first flew in 2001. Since its introduction the Cirrus has become the most produced general aviation aircraft of the 21st century with a 30% market share. One of the main selling points that attract private pilots to the Cirrus is its emergency recovery system whereby should the engine fail or there be some other form of catastrophic failure, a parachute can be deployed from the fuselage allowing the aircraft to safely float the ground.

A privately owned Cirrus SR-22 will be appearing on static display at this year’s Air Tattoo.
