![]() Any thoughts on the prop and ground clearance? Worrying about a prop strike (which I’ve seen a few on the market that have had them), is it better to get a three-blade for more ground clearance? What about the need for the extra clearance? A prop strike seems pretty disastrous and expensive to me, and being a new pilot, I’m sure i’ll still make my share of bad landings. Regarding this, I noticed some SR20 come with a two-blade prop which is several inches longer in diameter. ![]() The landing gear were re-sprung (pulled in) to raise the nose about 6 inches, What a great read and just what I needed. If you go to the TECH section - on the WEB banner, there is a very nice document produced by Jamie Steel - that details the model change - between 2 and 3įound it, yes, very informative and helpful.

You might want to consider one.Ĭall a Broker (You will find many here- I really like Aerista ) I’m more interested in things like airframe and/or engine performance, maintenance costs, major differences in safety, that sort of thing.Īs others have said, the differences between the the two is small. The G3 will give you the Perspective Avionics package which is what Cirrus is still using.įor the sake of conversation, let’s exclude the slick features in the Garmin Perspective… I know I wouldn’t get synthetic vision, the blue button, etc in the Entegra. What are compelling reasons you think I should get a G3 vs a G2? The savings you can get buying a G2 as opposed to a G3 could pay for a nice interior refresh or a new autopilot. Most 10 year old airplanes are due for some interior, exterior or avionics upgrades. The alternative is to get an engine monitor(EIS or JPI) or upgrade Avidyne to MCP (NEXAIR Avionics does these conversions). This means that you won’t be able to fly LOP properly. Actually, I’m not even sure MFD will have the page in the first place. G2’s don’t have digital engine monitoring(MCP?) which means you will have to have analog gauges in addition to engine page on the MFD. ![]() This is a consideration regardless of the model(20 or 22) but the 10 year window is right around the time when -20 went from G2 to G3 generartion. That’s because on '06 the chute was re-packed while the other is still due within a year. you may find that a '07 G3 may cost less than '06. Here’s what I’d be considering:Ĭhute repack is a very expensive item. Be careful as you read the article: 20 and 22’s have different features on the same year models. If you join COPA you will get access to an article that talks about differences between each year’s model of SR 20 and 22. I’m a recent SR20 G2 buyer(bought in Jan of '15).
