Cirrus SR22 — U.S. Fleet History & Risk Data
Piston · 6,678 aircraft on the U.S. registry · built 2001–2026
NTSB records whose airframe serial does not match the aircraft currently holding the registration are excluded, as are service difficulty reports filed while a registration belonged to a different aircraft. U.S. registrations get reused; these counts are reconciled to the airframes actually in this fleet.

ADs published since 2001 in our Federal Register database — the full list of directives applicable to an older airframe is longer; build it at drs.faa.gov. Open/superseded status reflects our last sync. Compliance for a specific airframe can only be verified in its logbooks — that's exactly what our per-aircraft report flags.
