Cirrus SR20 G1
The Cirrus SR20 G1 launched general aviation into a new era, entering production in 1999 as one of the first all-composite piston singles to reach the market and, notably, the first to carry a whole-airframe parachute system as standard equipment rather than an aftermarket accessory. Every G1 built came with the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System fitted from the factory, a safety philosophy that would go on to define the entire Cirrus product line.
Power comes from a Continental IO-360-ES producing 200hp, driving a Hartzell 76 inch two-blade propeller to a 75 percent cruise speed of 160 KTAS and a maximum range of 831 nautical miles. Standard equipment across every configuration included a moving-map multi-function display, dual GPS, and an autopilot, features that were far from universal on piston singles of the era.
Buyers could specify the G1 across three distinct configurations. The base “A” specification offered a single-axis autopilot and core IFR avionics, while the “B” and “C” configurations added altitude hold, an electric HSI, a second GPS/NAV unit and dual alternators for owners wanting a more capable IFR platform. By 2003, the standard display had moved from the original ARNAV ICDS-2000 moving map to newer Avidyne FlightMax glass panel technology.
Built around a cabin Cirrus marketed as the largest in its class, the G1 measures 26 feet long with a 35 foot 7 inch wingspan, and carries a maximum useful load of 950 lbs on a fixed tricycle undercarriage. It remains the aircraft that established the template every later Cirrus single would follow.

Interesting facts about the Cirrus SR20 G1
✈ Standard SR20 G1 base pricing rose from $179,400 in September 1999 to $207,800 by 2003, an increase of over 15 percent in under four years as demand for the type grew quickly.
✈ Every SR20 G1 came standard with the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System from the very first documented pricing configuration in 1999, well before whole-airframe parachutes became common on general aviation aircraft.
✈ Power comes from a Continental IO-360-ES producing 200hp, mated to a Hartzell 76 inch two-blade propeller, giving a 75 percent cruise speed of 160 KTAS and a maximum range of 831 nautical miles.
✈ The standard cockpit display evolved during this period, from the ARNAV ICDS-2000 10.4 inch moving map fitted in 1999 and 2001-era aircraft to the newer Avidyne FlightMax glass displays offered by 2003.
✈ Buyers could step up through three distinct avionics tiers even in these early years, from a single-axis autopilot on the base configuration to a two-axis system with altitude hold, electric HSI and dual alternators on the top specification.
✈ Despite the growing avionics sophistication, the airframe itself stayed consistent throughout this period at 26 feet long with a 35 foot 7 inch wingspan, built around what Cirrus marketed as the largest cabin in its class among piston singles.
