Your own empty mass (weighing report, optional)

Leave empty to use the typical POH empty mass. Your aircraft's weighing report is what counts.

How to do the Cirrus SR22 G1 weight and balance

  1. Enter the loadingWeights of pilot, passengers and baggage per station, fuel in litres or US gallons. Each station limit and the MTOW are checked.
  2. Use your own empty massOptional: enter empty mass and empty CG from the weighing report of your Cirrus SR22 G1. Without it the typical POH empty mass is used.
  3. Check CG and massThe traffic light shows whether the takeoff mass and the CG with and without fuel lie within the envelope of the POH.
  4. Takeoff and landingElevation, QNH, temperature, wind and runway give the takeoff and landing distance – compared with the runway length if you enter it.

Cirrus SR22 G1 – frequently asked questions

What is the MTOW of the Cirrus SR22 G1?

The maximum takeoff mass of the Cirrus SR22 G1 is 1,542 kg (3,400 lb) according to the POH.

How much usable fuel does the Cirrus SR22 G1 carry?

81 US gal (307 L) usable (total capacity 84 US gal (318 L)). With the typical POH empty mass and full fuel, about 301 kg (664 lb) remain for people and baggage.

How long is the takeoff distance of the Cirrus SR22 G1?

At MTOW, sea level, 15 °C and no wind the ground roll is about 310 m (1,020 ft) and the distance over 50 ft about 480 m (1,580 ft). At 5,000 ft and 25 °C it grows to about 835 m (2,730 ft). The calculator above gives the value for your conditions.

How do I calculate the CG of the Cirrus SR22 G1?

Multiply each mass by its arm, add up the moments and divide by the total mass – the calculator above does this with the stations of the Cirrus SR22 G1 POH (front seats, rear seats, baggage compartment, fuel) and checks the CG against the envelope.

How does the Cirrus SR22 G1 differ from other Cirrus SR22 models?

BriefingPal has 2 Cirrus SR22 models on file. Compared with them the Cirrus SR22 G1 has the lowest MTOW (1,542 kg (3,400 lb)), 81 US gal (307 L) usable fuel and a takeoff distance over 50 ft of 480 m (1,580 ft) at MTOW.

Is the Cirrus SR22 G1 weight and balance calculator free?

Yes. The calculator on this page and the BriefingPal app are free and need no account. The app adds route planning, weather, NOTAM, fuel planning and a briefing PDF.

Data source

All figures come from the Pilot's Operating Handbook / Airplane Flight Manual of the Cirrus SR22 G1 (weight and balance and performance sections) and are computed with the BriefingPal engine – the same calculation as in the app. Planning aid only; the original POH/AFM and the weighing report of your aircraft remain authoritative.
