THE AIRCRAFT

Meet Cirrus SR20

The SR20 received certification in 1998 and entered production the following year. It established Cirrus's certified-aircraft line before the larger-engined SR22. Seating and cockpit equipment evolved across versions. The simulator catalogue separates the Entegra and G1000 implementations so that their avionics are visible without implying identical equipment across the family.
