2002 Cirrus SR22 – The Smart Entry Into Real Performance Flying

Let’s be honest—most buyers looking at early SR22s are trying to answer one question:

“Can I get real Cirrus capability without overspending?”

This airplane answers that with a confident yes.

Aerista is proud to present N103C meticulously cared-for aircraft. The current owner has gone above and beyond—always hangared, and when traveling, he uses full covers for the fuselage, wings, and tail. The result? Paint that presents well above average for its vintage.

And here’s what truly sets it apart: This is a unicorn—a G1 equipped with TKS ice protection.

Why This Aircraft Makes Sense

This isn’t just an “entry-level” SR22—it’s your on-ramp into true cross-country capability:

IO-550 performance delivering the speed and efficiency Cirrus is known for

A stable, confidence-inspiring IFR platform

The Cirrus safety advantage—CAPS parachute system

A platform that’s been proven, refined, and consistently in demand

You’re not stepping into a compromise - you’re stepping into the airplane that redefined personal aviation.

The Real Advantage

Most buyers get this wrong—they chase newer models and stretch the budget.

Smart buyers do this instead:

Get into a well-positioned G1

Fly it, enjoy it, and build time

Preserve capital while still owning a 180+ knot traveling machine

This is how you enter Cirrus ownership strategically—not emotionally.
