Cirrus Design Corporation introduced a special edition at the 65th annual AOPA Expo. The GTS (unofficially an acronym for Generation Two - Special) is available in either a 200 or 310 horsepower model of the popular SR product line. Both the SR20-GTS and SR22-GTS are loaded with every factory-installed option plus some additional accents only available on this premium edition.

“Cirrus has again introduced a unique model with every factory option available as we did with the highly successful Centennial Edition in 2003,” stated Randy S. Bolinger, vice president of marketing at Cirrus. “Plus we’ve included a number of special touches that aren’t available on other models for people who want the crème de le crème.” The fully-loaded GTS models are further distinguished by the custom-color perforated leather interior and special exterior accents that include GTS graphics, tinted rear windows, a polished spinner, and chrome steps and grab handles.

GTS models are equipped with every factory-installed option currently available for the appropriate model including new options like CMax electronic approach plates by Avidyne, XM weather datalink, KGP-560 Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System by Honeywell and the recently announced Tailwind Advantage by Cirrus. The table below highlights the full complement of options included as standard equipment on the SR20-GTS and SR22-GTS models.

Tailwind Advantage – Tier 1 includes:

• 4 Bose acoustic noise canceling headsets,
• 3rd year extended warranty with avionics coverage,
• 2 years free oil changes,
• IFR/VFR Air Charts,
• 1 year Jeppesen NavData subscription,
• Rosen visors,
• $3,500 pre-paid ChevronTexaco Global Aviation Alliance fuel card + additional rebates,
• AeroShell Flight Jacket polish & cleaning supplies and
• Hertz rental car discounts

Adding the Tailwind Advantage to the GTS special edition means there is virtually nothing extra the customer will need to purchase to enjoy the first years of aircraft ownership.
