The piston single. Closer than you think.
Not every mission needs a jet. The Cirrus SR22T reaches where jets cannot, operates at a fraction of the cost, and gets three passengers to the Carolinas, Tennessee, or Florida before the morning is over.
The Cirrus SR22T is the most advanced piston single aircraft in production. Its carbon fiber structure, turbocharged Continental TSIO-550-K engine, and Garmin Perspective+ avionics system place it in a different category from legacy piston aircraft entirely.
The defining feature is CAPS — the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System. A whole-aircraft parachute deployable in any emergency. No other production aircraft at this price or performance level offers an equivalent safety system.
At 185 knots true airspeed, PDK to Hilton Head is 45 minutes. PDK to Nashville is 90 minutes. PDK to the Florida panhandle is just over two hours. These are routes where the piston single is not the budget option — it is the fastest door-to-door option.
