Today’s Top Pick is a 2019 Cirrus SF50 G2 Vision Jet.

Transitioning to jets is a big deal for any pilot, whether you fly for the airlines, the military, or your own one-ship family transport organization. For that last group, the change from piston power to a jet is striking, especially when you are flying it yourself as a single pilot. The workload might grow, but so do the rewards.

I had the good fortune to fly a Vision Jet for an article I wrote in 2017, and what I noticed first was how roomy the cabin was. It felt like my family would be as comfortable there as they are in the den at home. Next was the extra speed. Destinations that normally were two hours away at 150 ktas suddenly were just one hour away. I immediately understood the appeal and was not surprised to hear that Cirrus delivered its 500th Vision Jet last fall. The fleet is large enough that I encounter the jets regularly on the ramp at Essex County Airport near my New Jersey home.

This Vision Jet has 760 hours on the airframe and on its Williams FJ33-5A engine since new. The full FADEC engine has a 4,000-hour TBO and has been managed under the Williams International TAPS Blue maintenance program.

The panel features the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck with  the Cirrus Perspective+ Touchscreen interface, synthetic vision, Iridium satellite communications, TCAS, real-time weather radar, enhanced vision systems, Jeppesen ChartView, and more.

Pilots interested in moving up the performance ladder from a Cirrus SR22 or other fast piston models should consider this Cirrus Vision Jet, which was designed with transitioning piston PICs in mind, and is available for $2.9 million on AircraftForSale.

You can arrange financing of the aircraft through FLYING Finance. For more information, email info@flyingfinance.com.

Today’s Top Pick is a 2020 Cirrus SF50 G2 Vision Jet.

The Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet caused a sensation at its unveiling more than a decade ago and continues to do so with this improved G2 model. Designed as a path for pilot-owners to step up from piston aircraft to a jet, the SF50 G2 offers more travel options through enhanced speed and range. Its spacious, pressurized cabin represents a significant upgrade in comfort when compared with other single-engine piston and turboprop airplanes.

This SF50 G2 has 325 hours on the airframe and its Williams International FJ33 turbofan engine, which has a 1,846-pound thrust rating. Other highlights include the Safe Return Autoland system, Cargo X-Tend for additional cargo capacity, and Flight Stream 510 connectivity.

The aircraft’s Special Edition Arrivée interior includes executive seating with a center console, two-tone albatross and obsidian premium leather seats with white Arrivée accent stitching, Alcantara headliner with carbon fiber accents, and granite premium carpet. The aircraft’s Elite avionics package includes digital real-time weather radar, enhanced vision system, Surface Watch, traffic collision avoidance system, terrain awareness, an additional AHRS, ADS-B weather and traffic, and an additional digital transponder.

If your business and family travel plans would benefit from pressurized comfort,  300-knot cruise speed, and 31,000-foot service ceiling, you should take a closer look at this 2020 Cirrus SF50 G2 Vision Jet, which is available on AircraftForSale.

You can arrange financing of the aircraft through FLYING Financial Group. For more information, email info@flyingfinancial.com.
