Ready for a fully upgraded Cirrus SR22? Look no further than N8165H, a sterling example of a 2003 Generation 1 Cirrus. 2003 was the first year that Cirrus did the 2 screen Avidyne Glass panel, which has now been fully completed by the addition of the Avidyne IFD 540 and 440 GPS stack. Full WAAS in both units, giving pilots the ability to fly LPV approaches, utilize VNAV descent planning, and have all the data you could ask for. Combined with the Avidyne DFC 90 Digital Autopilot, N8165H can fly any approach anywhere. The PFD and MFD are under Avidyne’s Warranty program as well. The airplane has been enrolled in Savvy’s Maintenance Tracking Program, making this a very well looked after airplane. The October Savvy Report card shows outstanding engine temperatures and performance. The original engine still shows signs of performing well for years to come. Cirrus Service Center maintained by Houston Aviation Center. The 2003 Centennial Special Edition trim is truly one of a kind. Celebrating 100 years of flight in 2003, Cirrus only made a handful of the Centennial editions. Equipped with the TKS de-ice system and a 6 point engine mount, you won’t find a more capable Generation 1 SR22. CAPS was repacked a year and a half ago. The current owner has kept it hangared and keeps it shining after every flight. Comes with a complete set of Jet Shades. Digital Logs are available. Contact Texas Top Aviation today !
