The SR20 brought side-stick controls, composite construction, and a whole-plane parachute to the training market. It's what flight schools use when they want their students to survive.
Fun fact
The SR20 was the first FAA-certified aircraft to include a ballistic recovery parachute as standard equipment.
How to spot one
Slightly smaller than SR22. Side-stick control (no yoke). Composite construction. Has CAPS parachute system.
Crews call it
The Baby Cirrus
