Exceptional 2001 Cirrus SR20 (N226CD) with just 770 hours total time since new, offering a rare combination of exceptionally low utilization, long-term family ownership, and thoughtful care. Owned by the same family since 2003, this two-owner aircraft has been used exclusively for personal pleasure flying and consistently stored in a heated hangar in northern Illinois. Its attractive exterior, well-preserved leather interior, and established ownership history make it a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking a low-time, four-place Cirrus at an approachable price point.
Performance & Equipment
Powered by a 200 HP Continental IO-360-ES fuel-injected engine paired with a three-blade Hartzell constant-speed propeller. A Reiff engine preheating system with cylinder band and oil pan heaters provides added convenience for cold-weather operations. The SR20's responsive handling, side-stick flight controls, and comfortable cabin make it well suited for recreational flying and personal cross-country travel.

Additional features include ADS-B Out capability and traditional IFR flight instrumentation, providing a familiar and functional cockpit configuration.
Safety & Maintenance
Features the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS), with the parachute replaced October 23, 2023, and the next replacement scheduled for 2033.
