Will SR-22 Fit In 40' Hanger?

In reply to:


Does anyone keep a SR-22 in a 40’ hanger? Do you have any problems getting the plane in and out without bumping into the door frame or side walls?


My T-hangar doorway is only 39’ 4" wide, so I only have 5" on each side. In the 18 months I’ve had my SR22 I have had no trouble, using my Aero-Tow 200 electric tug and a striping scheme and put-away technique that you can learn all about in this thread on the Member’s forum. For that information alone it’ll be well worth your $50 to join COPA! There are an awful lot of posts on the subject.

I can put ‘er away with confidence in less than a minute in my hangar, now that I have the hang of it (sorry). Your ultra-wide 40’ hangar would be a piece of cake. Buy the Cirrus. You’ll never regret it.
