Aircraft Will Come With Turbos... AND A/C
PlaneSmart! Aviation of Dallas, TX and Cirrus Design Corporation
announced Tuesday the completion of a previously announced multi-million dollar
deal to replace its current fleet of Cirrus SR22-G2s
with all new Turbo Cirrus SR22-G3s.
As ANN E-I-C Jim Campbell recently expounded on in his extensive flight test,
the new Cirrus SR22-G3 (or "Generation Three") is a result of over
700 refinements over its predecessor, the SR22-G2.
The "basic" G3 is sweet enough... but PlaneSmart!'s new SR22-G3s
will arrive from the factory with virtually every option Cirrus
offers, including factory installed air-conditioning and a new
turbo-normalized engine which can maintain almost 100% power all
the way to the certified ceiling of 25,000'.
"PlaneSmart! customers are excited
about the arrival of their new and more capable aircraft" said
Jeffery A. Cullen, PlaneSmart!'s President and co-founder. "In
addition to the enhanced capabilities associated with the
turbo-charged aircraft, the new airplanes offer the perfect
combination of performance, navigation and safety features that
satisfy PlaneSmart!'s objective of offering the best fractional
aircraft ownership experience available to our customers. The new
aircraft also positions us well with a platform suited for growth
as we continue expanding into additional markets."
All of PlaneSmart!'s aircraft will be identically equipped for
continuity and ease of operation for clients.
"Obviously we are pleased to have a customer like PlaneSmart!
choose Cirrus products to pass along to our joint customers" Cirrus
CEO and Chairman Alan Klapmeier remarked after completing the
transaction with PlaneSmart! "Their dedication to providing
top-of-the-line products and services to customers though a
fractional share program is impressive."
