Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet preflight numbers at a glance: max gross weight 6000 lb, typical useful load 2000 lb, 296 gal usable fuel, cruise up to about 369 KTAS (POH figure at 28,000 ft, standard day). All figures below come from the FlightDecide curated aircraft library, digitized from the published POH/AFM. Use them for planning and study, and confirm against the POH for your specific serial number before flight.

| VX | 91 kt | Best angle of climb |
| VY | 160 kt | Best rate of climb |
| VA | 150 kt | Design maneuvering speed (at max gross) |
| VFE | 150 kt | Max flaps extended |
| VMO | 250 kt | Max operating |

Standard-day (ISA) rows shown, sampled across the POH table for readability; the FlightDecide app carries the full digitized table, including non-standard temperatures.
Book figures at 6000 lb, 0 ft pressure altitude, 15 °C. Real-world technique, wind, surface, and density altitude move these substantially, so apply your own margin (many pilots use 1.5× the book number) and run the numbers for the actual conditions.
| POH figure | Distance |
|---|---|
| Takeoff ground roll | 2035 ft |
| Takeoff over a 50 ft obstacle | 2950 ft |
| Landing ground roll | 780 ft |
| Landing over a 50 ft obstacle | 1325 ft |
| Rate of climb | 1200 fpm |
See how density altitude stretches these distances on a hot day.
Common QuestionsPer the POH cruise table, up to about 369 KTAS at 28,000 ft on a standard day, burning roughly 155 GPH at that setting. Typical everyday cruise settings run slower and leaner; see the table above.
296 gallons usable. At a high-cruise burn of 155 GPH that is roughly 1.9 hours to dry tanks. Plan with reserves, never to zero.
About 2000 lb for a typically equipped example (6000 lb max gross minus a typical empty weight of 4000 lb). Your aircraft's actual empty weight and CG come from its own weight-and-balance records. Always use those, not type averages.
Check today's wind against your personal crosswind maximum.

Fold these numbers into a structured preflight decision.
FlightDecide ships this aircraft as a built-in profile: it computes your fuel, weight and balance, and takeoff/landing performance for the actual conditions, scores 8 risk categories against your personal minimums, and explains the result in plain language.
