Cirrus Aircraft Reveals the 2022 G6 SR Series

In January 2022 Cirrus Aircraft revealed the 2022 G6 SR Series, featuring a refined aircraft design with reduced drag for increased fuel efficiency, Cirrus IQ mobile app updates, & the freedom to pair premium Xi aesthetic options. “The 2022 G6 SR reaches all new levels of sophistication, performance & customer convenience,” said the manufacturer.

Ivy McIver, Cirrus director of the SR Series product line, said: “The model year 2022 G6 SR is refreshed to seamlessly sync with your life – taking you further, keeping you connected, & distinguishing your style in the air & on the ramp. This latest update to the G6 embodies our passion for continued innovation & commitment to design. We are excited to continue introducing more people to personal aviation & empowering their Cirrus life story.”

Now in its sixth generation, with over 8,000 aircraft delivered, the SR Series leads the market as the best-selling, high-performance, single-engine piston aircraft for 20 years in a row & provides seamless luxury, exceptional performance, intelligent connectivity & unparalleled safety features.

“The new G6 SR Series is a testament to our devotion to constantly enhance both comfort & safety features across our product lines,” said Zean Nielsen, CEO of Cirrus Aircraft. “In 2022, we are poised to continue as the market leader in personal aviation & streamline the flying experience with the G6 SR Series aircraft.”

Faster, More Fuel Efficient, Better Range

The 2022 model year G6 SR is the fastest to date featuring sleeker wing & tail surfaces & redesigned wheel pants, resulting in true airspeeds of up to nine knots faster. The new model’s ice panel transition seams are smoothed & wheel pant tolerances tightened to reduce drag. These aerodynamic refinements contribute to both reduced fuel consumption & faster flight segments.

Added Pilot & Passenger Convenience

Luggage compartment access becomes easier with the new remote unlock capability & keyless entry. Lock & unlock the baggage door with the key fob, then the door can be easily opened with the push of a button. The door opens past 90 degrees, stays open during loading, & has been redesigned to feature a deeper pocket that can easily accommodate two quarts of oil.

With safety in mind, the G6 SR features Cirrus Aircraft Spectra illuminated steps offering better step & ground visibility for a more secure entry & exit during dark or low light conditions. The Cirrus ‘puddle light’ logo projected onto the ramp adds an extra touch of style. Additionally, a new, multi-functional USB panel features both USB-A & USB-C ports keeping mobile devices such as phones or laptops charged throughout the trip.

Advanced Aircraft Insight with Cirrus IQ

New for 2022, Cirrus IQ enhances aircraft connectivity providing increased insight. The Cirrus IQ status screen is redesigned to include aircraft model designation along with a new navigation bar featuring aircraft status, inspection intervals & warranty expiration.

• Maintenance Minder tracks approaching inspections & sends notifications when they are due. When flying, the flight hour meter automatically updates the inspection cards by providing a progress bar & countdown to the upcoming inspection event.
• My Trip module automatically logs every flight & curates key trip statistics & achievements earned while flying. My Trips will be released in February 2022.
• The Warranty section references the date & flight hour limits of coverage for spinner-to-tail warranty, & CMX coverage, if applicable.

Exterior & Interior Aesthetics

Cirrus Aircraft has introduced eight new exterior paint colours to elevate its signature ramp appeal.

The Cirrus Xi Design team, in partnership with Sherwin Williams Aerospace, developed a new paint formulation process “unlocking incredible potential & enhancing colour definition & flexibility.”

Alex Alequin, director of design, said: “Since the Xi program’s inception in 2009, we have carefully curated an exclusive experience that leverages leading-edge technology, our world-class engineering team & a dedicated Xi Design Studio to build your one-of-a-kind dream Cirrus aircraft. Today, we are excited to release the luxuriously bold collection of exterior colours & premium leather interior options to create an aircraft that truly echoes your style.”
