In all fairness to Cirrus, this is not something that WAS or can BE promised. The FAA is the one that has to certify the gross weight increase and they are notorious “foot draggers”. Cirrus has hoped to use the SR22 weight figures to cconvince the FAA to grant the increase to the SR20. It is the FAA that now needs to respond.

In June, it will be expected in July? (no need to answer this question)
