Cirrus SR22 GTS Turbo Shared Ownership Program |
|
Safety, technology, efficiency and value no other light aircraft can touch.
OVERVIEWBig things come in small packages. Don't let the dimensions of the Cirrus SR22 Turbo fool you, it has more legroom, front or back, than a typical luxury car and even gets comparable fuel economy! Prized by owners for its speed, comfort and safety, the SR22 revolutionized light aircraft ownership a decade ago with a host of safety, technology and power enhancements that still has other manufacturers scrambling to match. Primarily used by customers to commute between homes, offices and satellite operations throughout the southwest, the SR22 is the perfect balance between cost and convenience. Starting around $53,000 for 1/16th share in a very well-equipped new aircraft with five-year full warranty, we think you'll agree.
DESIGNCarbon Fiber, Leather and Power. Perfection. It's truly a beautiful thing, but even more, the SR22 converges engineering brilliance, technological superiority and modern design into a safety-focused personal aircraft that has launched it above all others in sales.
Exterior: Built of carbon composite for immense strength and minimal weight, the SR22 stands out as a sleek, sophisticated performer in flight and on the ramp. This material also maximizes aerodynamic efficiency, aiding in the Cirrus's quick cruise speeds and long range. Fixed landing gear also reduce weight and complexity by removing heavy hydraulic equipment. Up front, an advanced turbo-equipped engine produces maximum power all the way to cruise altitude, allowing 20-55 mph increases in cruise over a standard SR22. The shocker, however, is the whole-airplane parachute recovery system hidden behind the cargo area. With a pull of a handle, anyone can jettison CAPS, safely bringing the airplane to earth in case of a severe emergency or pilot incapacitation. Its safety found only on a Cirrus. Interior: Surprisingly roomy, even with four adults, the comfortable, leather upholstered seats are even to task enhancing safety, with energy absorbing structures and airbag-equipped seat-belts. In fact, the entire cabin structure is a carbon fiber roll cage built to absorb energy and protect its occupants. None of this will be in thought, however, as you gaze through large passenger windows that put you right in the action as you quietly leap over traffic and terrain, guided by flight and navigation systems surpassing many airliners. You'll be amazed at the safety, efficiency and value of the Cirrus every time you fly. A highly-tuned machine built to burn miles while sipping fuel, you won't find a better value for regional travel than the SR22T. PERFORMANCEMany claim to be 'state-of-the-art,' the Cirrus SR22T lives by it. Most piston powered aircraft were designed mid-century and continue their storied tradition to this day with minor improvements. Fair enough, but what about the vast improvements we've made in in the last three decades? Certified in 2000, the SR22 was built to preform from day one, utilizing the latest thinking, materials and technologies. Adding a turbo normalizing system, however, turned an athlete into a superhero. Far more simple in operation than the turbo systems found on other aircraft, the Cirrus Turbo maintains maximum available power from sea level to cruise altitude, increasing speeds 20 to 50 mph on only four more gallons of fuel per hour than a standard SR22. It's serious bang for the buck.
COSTSIt's simple...the numbers speak for themselves: Ownership of a new Cirrus SR22 Turbo with FLTshares starts around $53,000 for 1/16th share providing 25 annual flight hours. Unique to FLTshares is our commitment to finding the right share size for your needs, not the other way around. Various levels are available up to whole ownership, with most owners falling somewhere between 1/8th and 1/2 ownership, providing 75 to 300 annual flight hours and limiting the number of total owners to between three and six per aircraft. To further enhance availability, we limit the number of sole 1/16th and 1/12th shares per aircraft.
Besides a dramatically lower acquisition cost, shared ownership utilizes the available 300 to 400 hours left unused by a typical whole owner each year, dispersing operating costs. Compare a whole owner's use to its FLTshares equivelent and the numbers, well, speak for themselves!
These example FLTshare costs are all-inclusive best-estimates, considering average market rates for a 2008 model aircraft and its associated operating costs at 600 hours per year, including average regional fuel prices as of 1/15/10 ($4.81/gal). It's clear that even at whole-ownership use levels, FLTshares ownership significantly reduces your costs while eliminating the hassles of aircraft ownership.
