The first flight of the Cirrus SR20 marked a new era in general aviation.

Composite construction, which had been developing for years in the experimental category, in automotive components, and a range of sports equipment, was still new for certified aircraft. Indeed, it took until 1998 for the FAA to certify the SR20. Once the airplane cleared that hurdle and went on sale, the nature of GA aircraft design changed for good.

The aircraft was a departure from the riveted, all-metal machines flown for decades and quickly became popular among pilots seeking updated technology. Previously, owning a modern composite aircraft meant building your own from a kit and operating under experimental category rules. Cirrus made the exotic materials accessible to everyday pilots who wanted aircraft with full factory support and FAA certification.

This 2010 SR20 has 280 hours on the airframe, its 200 hp Continental IO-360–ES engine, and the Hartzell three-blade propeller. Additional equipment includes factory air conditioning, AmSafe seat airbag restraints, built-in CO detector, Electronic Stability and Protection (ESP), and Rosen sun visors.

The panel features the Cirrus Perspective avionics suite with software version 23 installed, dual AHRS computers, dual WAAS GPS receivers, Garmin 12-inch LCD displays, GFC700 autopilot, GTX 33ES transponder, Garmin Air Data Computer, Active Traffic Information, SiriusXM Weather with Datalink, GMA 347 audio panel, electronic charts, SafeTaxi, Flight Director, Terrain Awareness,  and engine monitoring system.
