Section 7 Cirrus Design
Airplane and Systems Description SR20
Engine
The aircraft is powered by a Teledyne Continental IO-360-ES, six-
cylinder, normally aspirated, fuel-injected engine de-rated to 200 hp at
2,700 RPM. The engine has a 2000-hour Time Between Overhaul
(TBO). Dual, conventional magnetos provide ignition.
The engine is attached to the firewall by a four-point steel mount
structure. The firewall attach points are structurally reinforced with
gusset-type attachments that transfer thrust and bending loads into
the fuselage shell.
Engine Controls
Engine controls are easily accessible to the pilot on a center console.
They consist of a single-lever power (throttle) control and a mixture
control lever. A friction control wheel, labeled FRICTION, on the right
side of the console is used to adjust control lever resistance to rotation
for feel and control setting stability.
Power (Throttle) Lever
The single-lever throttle control, labeled MAX-POWER-IDLE, on the
console adjusts the engine throttle setting in addition to automatically
adjusting propeller speed. The lever is mechanically linked by cables
to the air throttle body/fuel-metering valve and to the propeller
governor. Moving the lever towards MAX opens the air throttle butterfly
and meters more fuel to the fuel manifold. A separate cable to the
propeller governor adjusts the governor oil pressure to increase
propeller pitch to maintain engine RPM. The system is set to maintain
approximately 2500 RPM throughout the cruise power settings and
2700 RPM at full power.
