Page Status Page Status Page Status Revision 1 Intentionally Left Blank Cirrus Design Section Front Matter SR20 Foreword P/N 11934-004 Front Matter-1 Foreword This Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH or Handbook) has been prepared by Cirrus Design Corporation to familiarize operators with the aircraft. Read this Handbook carefully. It provides operational procedures that will assure the operator obtains the performance published in the manual, data designed to allow the most efficient use of the airplane, and basic information for maintaining the airplane in a “like new” condition. • Note • All limitations, procedures, maintenance & servicing requirements, and performance data contained in this Handbook are mandatory for compliance with FAA operating rules and for continued airworthiness of the airplane. This Handbook includes the material required to be furnished to the pilot by the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) and additional information provided by Cirrus Design Corporation and constitutes the FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual for the aircraft. Original Issue Front Matter-2 P/N 11934-004 Section Front Matter Cirrus Design Foreword SR20 The Handbook This Pilot’s Operating Handbook has been prepared using GAMA Specification #1 for Pilot’s Operating Handbook, Revision 2, dated 18 October 1996 as the content model and format guide. However, some deviations from this specification were made for clarity. The Handbook is presented in loose-leaf form for ease in inserting revisions and is sized for convenient storage. Tabbed dividers throughout the Handbook allow quick reference to each section. Logical and convenient Tables of Contents are located at the beginning of each section to aid in locating specific data within that section. The Handbook is divided into ten sections as follows: Section 1................................................................................... General Section 2...............................................................................Limitations Section 3.......................................................... Emergency Procedures Section 3A .......................................................... Abnormal Procedures Section 4.................................................................Normal Procedures Section 5................................................................... Performance Data Section 6...........................................Weight & Balance/Equipment List Section 7............................................. Airplane & Systems Description Section 8........................................Handling, Servicing & Maintenance Section 9........................................................................... Supplements Section 10.................................................................Safety Information The data presented in this Handbook is the result of extensive flight tests and is approved by the Federal Aviation Administration. However, as new procedures or performance data are developed, they will be sent to the owner of record for each airplane. • Note • It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the Pilot’s Operating Handbook is current at all times. Therefore, it is very important that all revisions be properly incorporated into this Handbook as soon as they are received. Original Issue Cirrus Design Section Front Matter SR20 Foreword P/N 11934-004 Front Matter-3 Revising the Handbook Two types of revisions may be issued for this Handbook: Numbered and Temporary. Temporary revisions are printed on yellow paper, normally cover only one topic or procedure, and are issued to provide safety related information or other time sensitive information where the rigor of providing a numbered revision is not possible in the time allowed. All the information needed to properly file a temporary revision is included on the revision itself. Typically, a temporary revision is superseded and replaced by the next numbered revision. A “Log of Temporary Revisions” following the “List of Effective Pages” is provided to log temporary revisions when they are issued. Typically, the “Log of Temporary Revisions” is replaced at the next numbered revision. Numbered revisions are printed on white paper, normally cover several subjects, and are issued as general updates to the Handbook. Each numbered revision includes an “Instruction Sheet,” a “List of Effective Pages”, and a “Revision Highlights” page. The “Instruction Sheet” is intended to assist the manual holder in removing superseded pages and inserting new or superseding pages. The “List of Effective Pages” shows the issue or revision status of all pages in the Handbook. The “Revision Highlights” page gives a brief description of changes made to each page in the current revision. Identifying Revised Material Each page in the Handbook has revision identification at the lower inside corner opposite the page number. Original issue pages will be identified by the words “Original Issue” at this location. In the event that the majority of pages in the Handbook are revised, Cirrus may determine that it is more effective to reissue the Handbook. Reissued pages will be identified by the word “Reissue” followed by a letter indicating the reissue level; for example, “Reissue A” Revised pages will be identified by the word “Revision” followed by the revision number at this location; for example, “Revision 2” (Original Issue, Revision 2) or “Revision B1” (Reissue B, Revision 1). Revised material on a page can be identified by a change bar located at the outside page margin. See the outside margin of this page adjacent to this paragraph for an example. Revision bars are not used at reissues of the Handbook.

Supplements The Supplements section (Section 9) of this Handbook contains FAA Approved Supplements necessary to safely and efficiently operate the airplane when equipped with optional equipment not provided with the standard airplane or not included in the Handbook. Supplements are essentially “mini-handbooks” and may contain data corresponding to most sections of the Handbook. Data in a supplement either adds to, supersedes, or replaces similar data in the basic Handbook. Section 9 includes a “Log of Supplements” page preceding all Cirrus Design Supplements produced for this airplane. The “Log of Supplements” page can be utilized as a “Table of Contents” for Section 9. If the airplane is modified at a non Cirrus Design facility through an STC or other approval method, it is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the proper supplement, if applicable, is installed in the Handbook and that the supplement is properly recorded on the “Log of Supplements” page. Original Issue Cirrus Design Section Front Matter SR20 Foreword P/N 11934-004 Front Matter-5 Retention of Data In the event a new title page is issued, the weight and balance data changes, equipment list changes, or the “Log of Supplements” is replaced, the owner must ensure that all information applicable to the airplane is transferred to the new pages and the aircraft records are current. It is not a requirement that owners retain information, such as supplements, that is not applicable to their airplane. Warnings, Cautions, and Notes Warnings, Cautions, and Notes are used throughout this Handbook to focus attention on special conditions or procedures as follows: • WARNING • Warnings are used to call attention to operating procedures which, if not strictly observed, may result in personal injury or loss of life. • Caution • Cautions are used to call attention to operating procedures which, if not strictly observed, may result in damage to equipment. • Note • Notes are used to highlight specific operating conditions or steps of a procedure.

Calibrated airspeed is equal to true airspeed in standard atmosphere at sea level. KIAS Knots Indicated Airspeed is the speed shown on the airspeed indicator. The IAS values published in this handbook assume no instrument error. KTAS Knots True Airspeed is the airspeed expressed in knots relative to undisturbed air which is KCAS corrected for altitude and temperature. VG Best Glide Speed is the speed at which the greatest flight distance is attained per unit of altitude lost with power off. VO Operating Maneuvering Speed is the maximum speed at which application of full control movement will not overstress the airplane. V FE Maximum Flap Extended Speed is the highest speed permissible with wing flaps in a prescribed extended position. V NO Maximum Structural Cruising Speed is the speed that should not be exceeded except in smooth air, and then only with caution. V NE Never Exceed Speed is the speed that may not be exceeded at any time. V PD Maximum Demonstrated Parachute Deployment Speed is the maximum speed at which parachute deployment has been demonstrated. V S Stalling Speed is minimum steady flight speed at which the aircraft is controllable. V S 50% Stalling Speed is minimum steady flight speed at which the aircraft is controllable with 50% flaps. Original Issue 1-10 P/N 11934-004 Section 1 Cirrus Design General SR20 Meteorological Terminology V SO Stalling Speed is the minimum steady flight speed at which the aircraft is controllable in the landing configuration (100% flaps) at the most unfavorable weight and balance. V X Best Angle of Climb Speed is the speed at which the airplane will obtain the highest altitude in a given horizontal distance. The best angle-of-climb speed normally increases slightly with altitude. V Y Best Rate of Climb Speed is the speed at which the airplane will obtain the maximum increase in altitude per unit of time. The best rate-of-climb speed decreases slightly with altitude. IMC Instrument Meteorological Conditions are meteorological conditions expressed in terms of visibility, distance from cloud, and ceiling less than the minima for visual flight defined in FAR 91.155. ISA International Standard Atmosphere (standard day) is an atmosphere where (1) the air is a dry perfect gas, (2) the temperature at sea level is 15°C, (3) the pressure at sea level is 29.92 in.Hg (1013.2 millibars), and (4) the temperature gradient from sea level to the altitude at which the temperature is -56.5°C is -0.00198°C per foot and zero above that altitude. MSL Mean Sea Level is the average height of the surface of the sea for all stages of tide. In this Handbook, altitude given as MSL is the altitude above the mean sea level. It is the altitude read from the altimeter when the altimeter’s barometric adjustment has been set to the altimeter setting obtained from ground meteorological sources. OAT Outside Air Temperature is the free air static temperature obtained from inflight temperature indications or from ground meteorological sources. It is expressed in either degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit. Original Issue Cirrus Design Section 1 SR20 General P/N 11934-004 1-11 Engine Power Terminology Performance and Flight Planning Terminology • Pressure Altitude is the altitude read from the altimeter when the altimeter’s barometric adjustment has been set to 29.92 in.Hg (1013 mb) corrected for position and instrument error. In this Handbook, altimeter instrument errors are assumed to be zero. • Standard Temperature is the temperature that would be found at a given pressure altitude in the standard atmosphere. It is 15°C (59°F) at sea level pressure altitude and decreases approximately 2°C (3.6°F) for each 1000 feet of altitude increase. See ISA definition. HP Horsepower is the power developed by the engine. MCP Maximum Continuous Power is the maximum power that can be used continuously. MAP Manifold Pressure is the pressure measured in the engine’s induction system expressed as in. Hg. RPM Revolutions Per Minute is engine rotational speed. • Static RPM is RPM attained during a full-throttle engine runup when the airplane is on the ground and stationary. g One “g” is a quantity of acceleration equal to that of earth’s gravity. • Demonstrated Crosswind Velocity is the velocity of the crosswind component for which adequate control of the airplane during taxi, takeoff, and landing was actually demonstrated during certification testing. Demonstrated crosswind is not considered to be limiting. • Service Ceiling is the maximum altitude at which the aircraft at maximum weight has the capability of climbing at a rate of 100 feet per minute. GPH Gallons Per Hour is the amount of fuel (in gallons) consumed by the aircraft per hour. Original Issue 1-12 P/N 11934-004 Section 1 Cirrus Design General SR20 Weight and Balance Terminology NMPG Nautical Miles Per Gallon is the distance (in nautical miles) which can be expected per gallon of fuel consumed at a specific engine power setting and/or flight configuration. • Unusable Fuel is the quantity of fuel that cannot be safely used in flight. • Usable Fuel is the fuel available for flight planning. CG Center of Gravity is the point at which an airplane would balance if suspended. Its distance from the reference datum is found by dividing the total moment by the total weight of the airplane. • Arm is the horizontal distance from the reference datum to the center of gravity (CG) of an item. The airplane’s arm is obtained by adding the airplane’s individual moments and dividing the sum by the total weight. • Basic Empty Weight is the actual weight of the airplane including all operating equipment that has a fixed location in the airplane. The basic empty weight includes the weight of unusable fuel and full oil. MAC Mean Aerodynamic Chord is the chord drawn through the centroid of the wing plan area. LEMAC Leading Edge of Mean Aerodynamic Chord is the forward edge of MAC given in inches aft of the reference datum (fuselage station). • Maximum Gross Weight is the maximum permissible weight of the airplane and its contents as listed in the aircraft specifications. • Moment is the product of the weight of an item multiplied by its arm. • Useful Load is the basic empty weight subtracted from the maximum weight of the aircraft. It is the maximum allowable combined weight of pilot, passengers, fuel and baggage. Original Issue Cirrus Design Section 1 SR20 General P/N 11934-004 1-13 • Station is a location along the airplane fuselage measured in inches from the reference datum and expressed as a number. For example: A point 123 inches aft of the reference datum is Fuselage Station 123.0 (FS 123). • Reference Datum is an imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal distances are measured for balance purposes. • Tare is the weight of all items used to hold or position the airplane on the scales for weighing. Tare includes blocks, shims, and chocks. Tare weight must be subtracted from the associated scale reading.
