FS2004 FACH Cirrus SR22. A utility plane manufactured by the American aircraft manufacturer Cirrus Design. The SR22 has four seats, piston engine and fuselage made of composite materials, being a derivative of the Cirrus SR20. The main differences with the SR20, is that the SR22 has a larger size, greater fuel capacity and a larger engine (231 kW). The new aircraft are assigned to the Chilean Aviation School, where they will perform liaison and operational efficiency functions for pilot officers. In general, these modern and advanced airplanes will serve as a progressive replacement for the noble Piper PA-28-236 Dakota of the institution, and in this sense it is likely that in the future new units will be acquired for distribution in the respective Brigades (The Aeronautical Observer). These aircraft of the Cirrus Aircraft have an autonomy of 1197 km (646 Mn, 744 Mn) with reserves and 65% power. By Raul Aguilera Bustamante.
