A Cirrus SR22 G7+ costs approximately $809k (€749k) to $967k (€895k) to buy at 2026 market values, and about $73k (€67k) a year to own flying 80 hours, roughly $907 (€840) per flight hour all-in. It seats 5, cruises at 183 kt (211 mph) and has a published range of 1,169 nm (2,165 km), needing about 1,867 ft (569 m) of runway. Figures are indicative planning estimates compiled 2026-07, not a quote for any specific airframe.
The SR22 has been one of the dominant piston aircraft in general aviation for two decades, and the G7+ is the current expression of that position: fast, comfortable, packed with automation and backed by the CAPS parachute that reshaped the owner-flown safety conversation. It is a reference high-performance single and one of the easier aircraft in this class to resell. The costs match the capability, a substantial acquisition price, CAPS repack on a calendar cycle, and insurance that reflects the performance. It is bought as much for the ownership experience as the numbers.
The SR22 G7+ is a high-performance fixed-gear piston single built around the Perspective Touch+ flight deck, the CAPS whole-airframe parachute and a five-place cabin. Cirrus publishes the weight, climb, stall, landing and altitude reference figures used on this profile. The aircraft makes most sense as an integrated transport and training system, not as a conventional single with a parachute added to the option list.
CAPS and other calendar- or life-limited equipment need to be identified in the maintenance status rather than treated as a generic annual allowance. Engine condition, transition training, avionics subscriptions and the exact ice-protection configuration also affect cost and dispatch. A pre-buy should price upcoming events from the aircraft's records and current provider quotations instead of importing a number from another generation or region.
Owner-operators and business flyers who want current avionics, the reassurance of an airframe parachute and strong resale, and who budget for premium maintenance.
Pilots on a tight budget. A cheap early-generation airframe still carries the same premium maintenance costs.

Fast, capable and highly marketable, but acquisition cost, CAPS calendar events and insurance are substantial.
Indicative cash costs at 2026 market values, before financing, depreciation and tax. The fixed base is the same whether the aircraft flies or not, so the effective hourly cost falls as utilisation rises.
| Annual use | Annual cash cost | Effective cost / h | Five-year cash outlay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 h / year | $58k (€54k) | $1,447 (€1,340) | $1.17m (€1.08m) |
| 80 h / year | $73k (€67k) | $907 (€840) | $1.24m (€1.15m) |
| 120 h / year | $87k (€81k) | $727 (€673) | $1.32m (€1.22m) |
| 180 h / year | $109k (€101k) | $607 (€562) | $1.43m (€1.32m) |
Every figure above is built from a $43k (€40k) fixed annual base, covering hangarage, insurance, scheduled maintenance reserves and recurring airworthiness costs, plus $367 (€340) per hour flown for fuel, reserves and consumables. It is a planning model for comparing aircraft and testing utilisation, not a maintenance programme quote, insurance quote or pre-buy assessment.
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at $79k (€73k) per year at 80 hours. Airframe and engine time, maintenance and damage history, avionics, equipment, geography and tax treatment move a real transaction further than the model year does, so price the aircraft in front of you, not the model. A cheaper example carrying deferred maintenance can be the more expensive aircraft once the first annual inspection is complete.
Cirrus SR22 G7+ cost guide answers the same figures as standalone purchase and ownership questions, and the ownership cost calculator lets you replace these assumptions with your own hours and fixed costs.
Nothing beyond a pilot certificate for the category and class. With fixed tricycle gear and no endorsement requirement of its own, this is among the simplest certified aircraft to qualify in, which is a real part of why it is cheap to insure and easy to check out in.

An indicative 2026 market price for a Cirrus SR22 G7+ is $809k (€749k) to $967k (€895k). This is a planning estimate normalised across the market, not a quote for a specific airframe. Condition, engine time remaining, avionics and damage history move the real number more than the model year does.
Flying 80 hours a year, a Cirrus SR22 G7+ works out at roughly $73k (€67k) annually, which is about $907 (€840) per flight hour all-in once fixed costs are spread across those hours. The direct cost per hour alone, covering fuel, reserves and consumables, is about $367 (€340).
Published range is 1,169 nm (2,165 km). With 4 people aboard and realistic reserves, plan on a practical radius of about 783 nm rather than the brochure figure.
Plan on approximately 1,867 ft (569 m) for take-off. Check this against the actual runway, surface, slope, temperature and loading, all of which extend the requirement.
