In the FlightDecide app since 2026-07-16. Reviewed 2026-09-28. 7 of 7 tables from the handbook. Anything marked “Not yet verified against the handbook” comes from FlightDecide's earlier library and hasn't been checked against the printed page.

Cirrus SR22T preflight numbers at a glance: max gross weight 3600 lb, typical useful load 1100 lb, 92 gal usable fuel, cruise up to about 213 KTAS (handbook figure at 25,000 ft, standard day). Every performance table below is read from the published POH/AFM; figures marked “Not yet verified against the handbook” come from the FlightDecide library. Use them for planning and study, and confirm against the POH for your specific serial number before flight.

How much runway does a Cirrus SR22T need?

Handbook figures at 3600 lb, 0 ft pressure altitude, 10 °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.

Handbook figureDistance
Takeoff ground roll1461 ft
Takeoff over a 50 ft obstacle2007 ft
Landing ground roll1158 ft
Landing over a 50 ft obstacle2505 ft
Rate of climb1133 fpm

Common Questions

Per the POH cruise table, up to about 213 KTAS at 25,000 ft on a standard day, burning roughly 18.3 GPH at that setting. Typical everyday cruise settings run slower and leaner; see the table above.

92 gallons usable. At a high-cruise burn of 18.3 GPH that is roughly 5.0 hours to dry tanks. Plan with reserves, never to zero.

About 1100 lb for a typically equipped example. Your aircraft's actual empty weight and CG come from its own weight-and-balance records. Always use those, not type averages.

VNE (never exceed) is 205 kt and VNO (max structural cruising) is 176 kt. Full V-speed table above; verify against the POH for your serial.
