Additional instrumentation

I am a place holder for the sr20. I am wondering if additional instrumentation and gizmos can be added at the factory before delivery? Such as Stormscope, Engine analyzer, fuel flow indicator, Tanis heater.

Hello Larry,

You are in luck!!! Yes, the list of add on is getting bigger.

Stormscope: Yes

Engine Analyzer: Yes, depending on your position number

Fuel Flow: I believe this will come with the Engine Analyzer

Tanis Heather: Yes

There is more down the pike. Things are only getting better. The only thing that is not looking good is the dollar bill, in 8 months it will be worth $0.57. Have a great Cirrus day…

Woor,

You’re scaring me; especially because you’re usually right with your predictions (at least when it comes to goings-on at CD). Does your expertise extend to the other kind of CD -Certificates of Deposit - too? This time, I hope you’re wrong!

Mike.

Only the stormscope is currently listed on the Cirrus price sheet. Do you know when the engine monitor will be available? Any word on the cost?

My SR20 won’t be delivered until mid to late next year, and I’m wondering if these options will be available by then…

Thanks

Hello Mike,

You are in luck!!!

CD’s are guaranteed if you did not buy on the street corner.

Yes, I agree with you. I too hope to be wrong.

There is plenty of red tape that must be worked before anything goes on paper. As of price, that too is in work, there will be a list coming out. Just give them time to work things out. Sometimes it is better to let those guys and gals to their work then keeping them on the phone asking questions. They get more done when left to do their task. Hang in there, and save so you can donate to Cirrus for all the goodies you want. You should not have any problems getting the engine analyzer, if the display does not get changed. That’s another story that we wont talk about so don’t ask.

I hear bells…

Twas the night before Christmas, and out on the ramp,
Not an airplane was stirring, not even a Champ.
The aircraft were fastened to tiedowns with care
in hopes that come morning, they all would be there.
The fuel trucks were nestled, all snug in their spots,
while peak gusts from three two zero reached 39 knots.
I sank behind the fuel desk, now finally caught up,
and settled down comfortably upon my butt.

When over the radio, there arose such a clatter,
I turned up the scanner to see what was the matter.
A voice clearly heard over static and snow,
asked for clearance to land at the airport below.

He barked out his transmission so lively and quick,
I could have sworn that the call sign he used was “St.Nick”.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Sure that it was only Horizon’s late Dash.

Then he called his position, and there could be no denial,
“This is St. Nicholas One and I’m turning on final.”
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
A Rutan sleigh, and eight Rotax Reindeer.

Cleared for the ILS down the glideslope he came,
As he passed all fixes, he called them by name:
"Now Ringo! Now Tolga! Now Trini and Bacun!
On Comet! On Cupid! "What pills was he takin’?

Those last couple of fixes left the controllers confused,
they called down to the office to give me the news.
The message they left was both urgent and dour:
“When Santa lands, could he please call the tower?”

He landed like silk, with the sled runners sparking,
Then I heard “Exit at Charlie,” and “Taxi to parking.”
He slowed to a taxi and exited Three-Two,
as he came down the taxiway the sleigh bells’ jingle grew.

He stepped out of the sleigh, but before he could talk,
I had run out to him with my best set of chocks.
He was dressed all in fur, which was covered with frost
and his beard was all blackened from Rotax Reindeer exhaust.

His breath smelled like peppermint, gone slightly stale
and he puffed on a pipe, but he didn’t inhale.
His cheeks were rosy and jiggled like jelly,
His boots were as black as a cropdusters belly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old fool,
and he kindly informed me that he needed some fuel.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his toes,
led me to know he was desperate to powder his nose.

I spoke not a word, but went straight to my work,
and I filled up the sleigh, but I spilled like a jerk.
He came out of the restroom with a sigh of relief,
and then picked up a phone for a flight service brief.

And I thought as he silently scribed in his log,
that with Rudolph, he could land in eighth-mile fog.
Next, he completed his pre-flight, from the front to the rear,
then he put on his headset, and I heard him yell “Clear!”

And laying a finger on his push-to-talk,
He called up the tower for his clearance and squawk.
“After departure fly heading three two zero,” the tower called forth,
“and watch for a Luscombe inbound from the North.”

Then I heard him exclaim, 'ere he climbed in the night,
Merry Christmas to all, I have traffic in sight."

Cheers,

Woor
