Cirrus SR20 and SR22 Flight Operations Manual
Section 7 Supplementary Information
the ceiling and visibility at that airport will be at or above the following
weather minima:
• For a precision approach procedure. Ceiling 600 feet and
visibility 2 statute miles.
• For a Non-precision approach procedure. Ceiling 800 feet and
visibility 2 statute miles.
If no instrument approach procedure has been published, the ceiling
and visibility minima are those allowing descent from the MEA,
approach and landing under basic VFR.
Fuel Requirements
No person may operate an aircraft in IFR conditions unless there is
enough fuel (considering weather reports, forecasts, and weather
conditions) to:
• Complete the flight to the first airport of intended landing,
• Fly from that airport to the alternate airport,
• Fly after that for 45 minutes at normal cruising speed.
No person may begin a flight in an aircraft under VFR conditions
unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is
enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and assuming
normal cruising speed and at least an additional 45 minutes beyond
that point in either day or night conditions.
Minimum Runway Length
Cirrus pilots are encouraged to operate off a minimum runway length
of 2,500 feet or twice the expected takeoff and /or landing distance,
whichever is higher. Cirrus pilots should receive short field takeoff and
landing instruction prior to operating at fields shorter then 2,500 ft.
Noise Abatement
When operating out of noise sensitive airports pilots are encouraged
to follow local noise abatement procedures and consider a power
reduction during the climb if necessary and safe.
