2017 Cirrus SR22 G6 GTS on Sale with Advanced Garmin Avionics and Low Flight Hours
A 2017 Cirrus SR22 Generation 6 GTS offers pilots a capable, normally aspirated cruiser with advanced Garmin Perspective+ avionics, low total time, and recent inspection.
The gist
This 2017 Cirrus SR22 GTS combines top safety features, Garmin avionics, and a pristine maintenance record for $689,900.
Since its introduction, the Cirrus SR22 has established itself as the top-selling general aviation aircraft by melding high performance with a focus on safety. The 2017 Generation 6 GTS model available now exemplifies these traits with a modern avionics suite and proven airframe integrity. The normally aspirated Continental IO-550-N Platinum Series engine powers this model, offering the reliability Cirrus owners have come to expect. Its potent yet efficient design makes the G6 a favored choice for cross-country cruising.
Pilots operating in difficult weather will value the Garmin Perspective+ avionics package at the heart of this SR22’s cockpit. It features dual 12-inch screens with Synthetic Vision Technology that enhances situational awareness, backed by dual WAAS-enabled GPS units for precise navigation. The Garmin GFC700 autopilot manages flight control automatically, including yaw damping, flight director guidance, and Electronic Stability Protection to reduce pilot workload. Safety enhancements extend to a Garmin GTX 345 ADS-B Out transponder, active traffic avoidance, SiriusXM Weather updates, and an Enhanced Vision System for improved visibility in adverse conditions.
This particular aircraft's maintenance history is notable for its exemplary upkeep and low utilization, logging only 740 total flight hours since new. The recent annual inspection completed in April 2026 verifies its readiness for immediate operation. Additional equipment supports practical long-distance flying, such as factory-installed air conditioning for comfort and a TKS-known ice protection system that meets FIKI certification to handle in-flight icing safely. Also included is Cirrus’s signature Airframe Parachute System, with the next repack inspection not due until August 2027, bolstering the safety profile of this cruiser.
Designed for real-world utility and comfort, the cabin features upscale graphite grey interior finishes with flexible 60/40 seating configurations. USB power ports are available throughout the cabin, catering to modern electronic device needs. Passenger security is enhanced by AmSafe airbag seat belts, a feature aligning with Cirrus's emphasis on occupant protection. The exterior is finished in a striking blue-and-silver paint scheme accentuated by Spectra LED lighting and sleek wheel fairings, making a strong visual statement on the ramp.
Performance-wise, the Continental engine delivers dependable power to tackle cross-country missions with confidence. Added features like a Tanis engine preheater aid in cold-weather starts, thereby minimizing downtime during seasonal operations. The integrated Precise Flight oxygen system onboard further enables high-altitude flights, broadening the operational envelope for pilots seeking both comfort and safety.
Priced at $689,900, this Cirrus SR22 GTS offers an outstanding balance of modern avionics, stringent safety equipment, and a well-documented maintenance pedigree. Its combination of comfort, capability, and secure design provides a compelling option for pilots interested in acquiring a sophisticated piston single for travel or personal missions. For those considering purchase, financing options are available through aviation specialty lenders, facilitating ownership transition.
The enduring popularity of the SR22 reflects its status as a benchmark in the GA community for combining speed, avionics innovation, and safety innovations such as the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System. This particular G6 model stands out with its low flight hours and comprehensive equipment list, ensuring that the next owner gains an aircraft ready for serious cross-country flying with a solid safety net.
In conclusion, potential buyers looking for a thoroughly modern single-engine piston aircraft with a legacy of safety and performance would find this 2017 Cirrus SR22 GTS a particularly attractive acquisition. Its advanced Garmin avionics suite and recent maintenance affirm its status as a high-caliber general aviation cruiser, blending pilot-friendly features with the proven Cirrus DNA.
