- There are more Cirrus SR22s to choose from: 3,926 registered against 401.
- The Cirrus SR22 carries more airframe ADs with a repeat action, 2 against 1: inspections that come back for as long as the AD applies.
- Mechanics report the Cirrus SR22's landing gear brake system most, and the Mooney M20R's reciprocating engine oil system.
