Two-Hour Beginner Flying Lesson In The Cirrus SR22 Turbo
The two-hour beginner lesson in N422SN, our Cirrus SR22 Turbo. Three hundred and ten turbocharged horsepower, a Cirrus Perspective glass panel and a parachute for the whole airframe. It cruises at 215 knots.
This is not the sensible first lesson, and most people do not start here. The ones who do tend to know already that they are going to finish the certificate, and want to start in the airplane they will fly afterwards.
