Introduction

Meet the aircraft

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 products include Entegra and G1000 flight decks, identified separately.

Living with a G2, from touring to teaching

Greenspun’s experience extended well beyond a demonstration flight. He collected his G2 at Duluth, travelled from Boston into northern Canada and Alaska, and later taught in the aircraft. The cabin gave passengers room to stretch, and the low panel provided a view he especially valued from the instructor’s seat. The side control also left useful space for charts in his lap. Getting comfortable with the handling took longer.

HOW IT CAME TO BE

History & design

A familiar outline with changing interiors

Haines’s 2006 return to serial number 9 highlighted the contrast between early instruments and later glass displays, along with revised doors and interior fittings. The SR20’s appearance therefore conceals meaningful differences between generations.

A different engine for the G6

The 2017 G6 introduced a 215 hp Lycoming in place of the earlier 200 hp Continental. Southwick’s review describes the newer avionics and increased permitted weight alongside that engine change; his G6 experience should be distinguished from accounts of the G2 and G3.

FROM THE COCKPIT

Pilot accounts

Living with a G2, from touring to teaching

Philip Greenspun

Greenspun’s experience extended well beyond a demonstration flight. He collected his G2 at Duluth, travelled from Boston into northern Canada and Alaska, and later taught in the aircraft. The cabin gave passengers room to stretch, and the low panel provided a view he especially valued from the instructor’s seat. The side control also left useful space for charts in his lap.

Getting comfortable with the handling took longer. His first efforts to trim precisely produced unwanted climbs, descents and turns; he remembers the satisfaction of eventually settling into a steady hands-off climb through cloud in Quebec. He also found that long periods of hand-flying in turbulence could be tiring. The review combines affection for the aircraft’s travelling comfort with candid criticism drawn from his particular G2 and its equipment.

Revisiting one of the first customer-era airframes

Thomas B. Haines

Haines returned to an early SR20 to see how the original aircraft felt after years of development elsewhere in the range. Flying beside Lake Superior with Dillon brought him back to earlier factory visits and handling demonstrations. The aircraft still served employees as both a trainer and a way to travel, despite having accumulated substantial flying time.

The visit also reminded him of less polished prototype days. He had once broken a door latch while taxiing out, an episode the founders continued to tease him about. Looking from that early cockpit to newer models made the changes in doors, interior fittings and avionics particularly clear.

A Melbourne flight shows the newer SR20’s character

Paul M. Southwick

Southwick had flown the aircraft when it first arrived in Australia, before returning for a longer review in its Australian registration and new colour scheme. This time the plan combined photographs over central Melbourne with a flight down Port Phillip Bay. Lower cloud kept the assessment below the more typical cruise altitude he had hoped to use.

He enjoyed the view over the city and stadiums, while the busy surrounding airspace kept radio and traffic awareness prominent. Farther south, he and Simmons remarked on the smoothness of the four-cylinder engine and compared speed with fuel consumption. The return brought a good landing after a little over an hour. His favourable impression came from both the cabin and the flying, with the day’s weather limiting how broadly he could assess performance.

The simulator model and controls

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.

This profile selects TorqueSim SR20 for X-Plane 12.

How this profile feels

Spring resistance builds with the selected airspeed response. A separate aerodynamic term adds speed-dependent control load.

Valid trim provides the configured pressure relief. Autopilot following is off.

Controls and trim

The SR family uses mechanically linked side yokes rather than passive Airbus sidesticks. The preserved handbook/maintenance excerpts describe electric pitch and roll compression-spring cartridges that move the control neutral. An early SR22's shared roll-trim/autopilot mechanism supplies related-family context, not universal interface evidence. TorqueSim separates SR20 Perspective and Entegra products, with different avionics and autopilot scope.

The selected implementation

TorqueSim SR20 uses 200-hp IO-360-ES with Perspective/Entegra editions. Entegra S-TEC55X is not automatically the Perspective AP.

About the values

The gains are normalized profile settings. They describe the chosen effect balance; hand force depends on the device and its output limits. IAS references are tuning values rather than operating limits. Physical acceptance of this revision remains pending.

Documentary review and sources

These decisions describe the documentary basis and remaining gaps for this revision. Aircraft documentation and a starting setting describe different kinds of evidence.

TorqueSim separates SR20 Perspective and Entegra products, with different avionics and autopilot scope.

Trim
Inherited

Spring-cartridge trim moves the neutral rather than an elevator trim tab; profile pressure relief is a simplified representation of that mechanism. Pitch authority 0.3 provides load relief and permitted centre movement; roll authority is 0.12.

Autopilot and stability
Inherited

Autopilot following is off; the configured spring and load retain the hardware feel.

Equipment

TorqueSim SR20 uses 200-hp IO-360-ES with Perspective/Entegra editions. Entegra S-TEC55X is not automatically the Perspective AP.

Speeds and limits
Inherited

The indicated-speed references set the profile response scale; they are separate from aircraft operating limits.

Simulator integration
Inherited

The profile targets xplane12. Add-on-specific controls use only the supported references configured by this profile.

Force-feedback settings

Force Trim EnabledStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyEnables local force trim, separate from aircraft-owned trim and add-on integration qualification.
GLoad EnabledStarting valueEnabled What it controls and whyAllows load-factor changes to modify permitted spring laws. Passive fly-by-wire feel can suppress it.
Rate Damping EnabledStarting valueEnabled What it controls and whyEnables rate damping with the configured coefficients and control law.
Autopilot followStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyAutopilot following is off; the configured spring and load retain the hardware feel.

GainStarting value0 What it controls and whySets high-Mach buffet strength; onset and full-strength thresholds are separate.
GainStarting value0 What it controls and whySets flap buffet at the configured position and speed gates. Flap movement texture is separate.
Maximum flap indexStarting value2 What it controls and whySets the final flap index for detent normalization. UP plus three detents uses maximum index3.
Minimum flap indexStarting value2 What it controls and whySets the first flap detent that admits buffet; this is a handle index, not degrees.
GainStarting value0 What it controls and whySets gear aerodynamic buffet; movement and ground-contact cues are separate.
Shaker EnabledStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyPermits shaker at supported warning conditions; the switch does not establish aircraft equipment.

Limits and open questions
  • TorqueSim SR20; xplane12. Previously observed titles and implementation identifiers are retained; installed matching remains deferred.
  • Mechanical side yoke with spring-cartridge centring and residual aerodynamic loading. No passive-FBW classification, gravity stick drop or mass-derived torque. Persistent spring support is retained at zero airspeed.
  • Estimated pitch/roll neutral movement models the spring-cartridge concept; it is not an external moving trim tab. Exact add-on normalized-trim mapping is unqualified. No addition of trim to simulator joystick output. SR22 source supplies architectural context only; no SR22 serial-number or AP-servo implementation is attributed to SR20.
  • G1000 and EntegraR8 packages have distinct autoflight equipment. No AP engagement/trim coupling inferred across those packages. AP servo-follow and neutral hold remain disabled; engagement indicators are not force-demand signals.
  • IO360ES piston, fixed tricycle wheels and flaps. Both avionics editions share nominal mechanical side-yoke feel; source identity remains SR20.
  • 140 KIAS is an estimated feel reference, not cruise TAS or a certified limit. No invented Mach, VNE or weight scheduling.
  • Read-only native telemetry for aircraft motion and accessory positions. Custom switches, display animations and mode lamps are not calibrated servo targets. No unverified LVars/datarefs or simulator writes.
  • Spring 0.74; lateral scale 0.7; trim authorities 0.3/0.12; per-axis output cap 0.55. Editable engineering estimates, not measured hand forces. No body-rate torque, surface following or fabricated hydraulic-failure loads.
  • New physical and installed-product checks deferred by owner. Existing separately recorded acceptance retains its original device, simulator, add-on and version limits. Source review does not broaden custom telemetry acceptance.
  • Only actual accessory position changes drive movement texture; static drag and command-triggered kicks are disabled. Select and save an aircraft default when telemetry lacks a discriminating developer/configuration identity.
