Today’s Top Pick is a 2005 Cirrus SR20 G2.

By introducing a sleek, composite airframe, advanced safety features, and simplified systems to a market hungry for innovation, the SR20 pushed general aviation into a new age. This foundational model set the stage for the wildly popular SR series, combining approachable performance with standard-setting technology like the integrated airframe parachute.

This well-equipped 2005 airframe has logged 2,640 total flight hours since new. The aircraft boasts impressive ramp presence with its white-and-green striped exterior, tinted windows, LED navigation/strobe lights, and a sleek black spinner. In terms of comfort, it stands out from the crowd thanks to a Kelly Aerospace air conditioning system installed in 2026 and a stylish custom leather interior fitted by UAC in 2018.

Providing reliable propulsion is a Continental IO-360-ES engine that underwent a top overhaul of all six cylinders in July 2023. The powerplant spins an MT three-blade composite propeller showing approximately 962 hours since its last major overhaul. Crucially for prospective Cirrus buyers, the aircraft’s signature safety feature, the CAPS parachute system, had its repack completed and is not due again until May 2034. The aircraft also comes with an added perk—Embark transition training provided by Cirrus.

The flight deck has been thoroughly enhanced to meet modern cross-country demands, featuring an Avidyne Entegra EX5000 PFD/MFD setup paired with a highly capable Avidyne Digital DFC90 autopilot. 

Navigation and communication are handled effortlessly by dual Garmin GTN 650Xi units, while a Garmin GTX 345 transponder provides ADS-B In and Out capabilities. Additionally, a Garmin Flight Stream 510 offers seamless wireless connectivity to your devices, and an L3 Stormscope alongside XM Datalink Weather provides excellent situational awareness.

Listed at $239,900, this comprehensively updated 2005 Cirrus SR20 G2 provides an excellent entry point into the Cirrus lifestyle with the heavy lifting on maintenance and avionics upgrades already completed.
