A Cirrus SR22T G6 costs approximately $845k (€782k) to $1.01m (€935k) to buy at 2020 market values, and about $83k (€77k) a year to own flying 80 hours, roughly $1,042 (€965) per flight hour all-in. It seats 5, cruises at 213 kt (245 mph) and has a published range of 1,021 nm (1,891 km), needing about 2,034 ft (620 m) of runway. Figures are indicative planning estimates compiled 2026-07, not a quote for any specific airframe.
The SR22T G6 pairs turbocharged high-altitude speed with the Perspective+ avionics and refinements of the latest generation, making it one of the most capable and resaleable owner-flown singles available used. Owners buy it to fly fast, high and far with strong residuals. The costs match, because the turbo system, FIKI ice protection, CAPS parachute repacks and engine reserves are all significant, and each drives value. A G6 SR22T with FIKI, fresh CAPS and a healthy engine is a highly desirable aircraft; the calendar and equipment items are what separate a strong example from an average one.

Excellent high-altitude speed, modern avionics and strong resale, but turbo, FIKI, CAPS and engine reserves are expensive.
Indicative cash costs at 2020 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 | $67k (€62k) | $1,663 (€1,540) | $1.25m (€1.16m) |
| 80 h / year | $83k (€77k) | $1,042 (€965) | $1.33m (€1.24m) |
| 120 h / year | $100k (€93k) | $835 (€773) | $1.42m (€1.31m) |
| 180 h / year | $125k (€116k) | $697 (€646) | $1.55m (€1.43m) |
Every figure above is built from a $50k (€46k) fixed annual base, covering hangarage, insurance, scheduled maintenance reserves and recurring airworthiness costs, plus $421 (€390) 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 $89k (€83k) 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 SR22T G6 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 2020 market price for a Cirrus SR22T G6 is $845k (€782k) to $1.01m (€935k). 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 SR22T G6 works out at roughly $83k (€77k) annually, which is about $1,042 (€965) 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 $421 (€390).
Published range is 1,021 nm (1,891 km). With 4 people aboard and realistic reserves, plan on a practical radius of about 684 nm rather than the brochure figure.
Plan on approximately 2,034 ft (620 m) for take-off. Check this against the actual runway, surface, slope, temperature and loading, all of which extend the requirement.
