A good friend of mine bought a Cirrus SR22 last year and is looking for a shop to do his annual. Any Cirrus aficionados know of a good shop that you can recommend in FL or SE US?

If you go up to Savannah, GA then I would recommend Swaid Rahn with Indigo Aviation. He may be busy building his next racer. I have seen him wrench on Piper, Cessna (172, 182, 208, 340, 401, 421), Cirrus, Caravan, KingAir, Citation, Beechcraft (Bo, Baron, TwinBo, my TravelAir), Gulfstream piston and jet aircraft (AA5B and G-V), and even a DC-3.

The nice thing about Savannah is that it is a great week or weekend trip and there is a nice big airport that can get you pretty much anywhere in the US in 1-2 hops.


I haven't used Savanah Aviation (https://www.savannahaviation.com/) since it sold, but they do a fair amount of Cirrus work and, within the past few years, started augmenting their training fleet with Cirrus, moving from Cessna and Piper with newer SR20s and maintaining a few SR22s on the field. My last visit there was April of last year and we were there and at $ignature for about 45 minutes.

I've never owned a Cirrus but Rick has done a good job on other aircraft for me.

Sarasota Avionics at Peter O. Knight (KTPF) is an authorized Cirrus Service Center, Tampa, FL

One year I had to reconfigure a customer's Cirrus after he visited Sarasota. He was at Sarasota for some other reason, and they did a system software update. They configured the plane as a single ADC, when it had dual ADC's. He called them after leaving, and they insisted it was correct. Simply pulling out the equipment list would show that there are two ADC's in the plane.
I've got plenty more examples.

I do not have a Cirrus but have heard good things about DLK aviation in Kennesaw GA. They do a lot of chute repacks.

[/quote] Was that VNC, TPF, or SRQ? All three do avionics, but I believe only TPF is an authorized Cirrus service center. I’ve never had an issue with any TPF avionics work.

At the Cirrus SC location, of course. The people that should know it best.

These guys are at Greenville Downtown [GMU]
