Cirrus SR22: US Fleet Statistics

The FAA aircraft registry lists 6,943 Cirrus SR22 aircraft with a valid registration as of July 11, 2026. The Cirrus SR22 is a single-engine airplane, and this family groups every registered variant of the Cirrus SR22 together. It ranks #5 by registration count among the model families tracked in this dataset.

These counts come from the FAA MASTER file and reflect aircraft with an active “valid” registration status.

The median registered Cirrus SR22 was manufactured in 2016. Most were built between 2004 and 2025, and manufacture years across the registered fleet span roughly 2001 to 2026. A manufacture year is on file for 6,436 of the 6,943 registered aircraft.

The FAA registry lists 6,943 Cirrus SR22 aircraft with a valid US registration — about 3.0% of all piston-powered aircraft in the US crewed fleet, and #5 of the 75 model families tracked here. The registered fleet carries a median manufacture year of 2016, newer than the overall US general-aviation fleet, whose median airframe dates to 1979. By state, Florida, California, and Texas together account for 24.8% of the fleet, and the top ten states hold 50.5%.

The Cirrus SR22 is one of the most-registered model families in the entire US civil fleet, and by a wide margin the most common aircraft featured on this page. That scale reflects two decades of strong production and the type’s dominance of the modern piston-single market.

Its registrations spread across the country, led by Florida, California, and Texas, with a large Delaware share tied to LLC and trust registrations. The fleet is relatively young by median manufacture year, though the earliest airframes now carry close to two decades of records to maintain.

Shares are computed from the FAA registry snapshot on July 11, 2026. Engine-type share is of all piston-powered aircraft in the crewed US fleet; state shares are of all 6,943 registered Cirrus SR22 aircraft.

The Cirrus SR22 is the best-selling piston single of the modern era — a composite four-seat aircraft built by Cirrus in Duluth, Minnesota, known for its side-yoke control, glass cockpit, and whole-airframe parachute system. It is overwhelmingly an owner-flown personal and business-travel aircraft, though it also serves flight training and small shared-ownership and membership operations.

SR22 operators are typically individual owners, flying clubs, or shared-ownership groups. At that scale, simple mobile record-keeping — currency, maintenance status, and a shared schedule — is far more valuable than heavyweight dispatch tooling built for airline-style operations.
