The records that keep your Cirrus flying shouldn't live in a shoebox

The deadline you can't see is the one that gets you

Right now your records live in a binder, a shoebox of PDFs, and a few dates you're trusting yourself to remember. The annual, the transponder check, a recurring AD: any one of them can quietly slip past while you're busy flying, and you usually find out at the worst possible time.

The five-figure surprise

The CAPS repack is the most expensive scheduled item on the airplane, and it comes due on a fixed calendar date whether you fly 20 hours a year or 200. Miss it on your radar and it shows up as one big bill instead of something you'd set money aside for years ahead.

The resale haircut

When it's time to sell, messy records cost you real money. Buyers and their pre-buy mechanics quietly discount a Cirrus they can't verify, and the negotiation drags on. A clean, complete, searchable history does the opposite.

How Maggneto works

  1. 1

    Scan your logbooks in

    Snap photos of your existing airframe and engine logs so your whole maintenance history lives in your pocket, searchable and easy to reference instead of buried in a binder or a folder of PDFs.

  2. 2

    Set up your tracking, your way

    Add the items you want to stay ahead of, from CAPS to the annual to oil to TBO to your transponder checks and ADs, plus any custom items, each with intervals that fit your airplane. It's fully customizable, so you track exactly what matters for your tail number.

  3. 3

    Stay ahead, and keep the record

    Log a flight or an oil check in a few seconds and the countdowns update themselves. When you sell, you hand the buyer a clean, complete record that helps the airplane hold its value.

What a Cirrus (SR20 / SR22) owner tracks

These are the items most Cirrus owners have to stay on top of. Intervals vary by model, year, and equipment, so treat these as typical and check them against your own aircraft's documents. For each one, here's how Maggneto keeps it from sneaking up on you.

Maggneto shows each item as:Up to dateDue soonOverdue

  1. 1.CAPS parachute repack

    Every 10 yearsCalendar

    The Cirrus Airframe Parachute System is the signature feature of every SR-series aircraft, and its repack is the most expensive scheduled item you carry. It's typically a five-figure event that comes due on a fixed calendar date no matter how much you fly.

    In Maggneto: Maggneto tracks the 10-year repack as a dated item with a long-range countdown, so you can budget for it years ahead and the deadline never catches you off guard.

  2. 2.Annual inspection

    Every 12 calendar monthsCalendar

    Every certified Cirrus needs an annual inspection on a fixed calendar cycle, regardless of how many hours it flew that year.

    In Maggneto: Maggneto counts the annual down by date and shows a clear status (Up to date, Due soon, or Overdue) so you book the shop before the month runs out.

  3. 3.Oil & filter change

    Every 50 hours or 4 monthsHours or calendar

    Continental recommends oil and filter changes on a regular hours-or-calendar cycle, and oil is the cheapest, most honest read you'll get on engine health.

    In Maggneto: Maggneto counts the interval from your real tach time and turns your oil checks into a burn rate in quarts per hour, so a creeping consumption trend shows up long before it becomes a top-end problem.

  4. 4.Engine overhaul (TBO)

    ~2,000 hours or 12 years (typical)Hours or calendar

    The Continental IO-550 in an SR22, or the four-cylinder engine in an SR20, carries a published time between overhauls in both hours and years. It's the biggest single number on the airframe.

    In Maggneto: Maggneto tracks each engine on its own time with a progress bar toward TBO, so you can see the overhaul coming from years away and plan for it instead of getting surprised.

  5. 5.Transponder, altimeter & pitot-static checks

    Every 24 calendar monthsCalendar

    The FAA requires transponder (91.413) and altimeter/static system (91.411) checks every two years for IFR flight, and most Cirrus aircraft are flown IFR.

    In Maggneto: Maggneto tracks the 24-month checks as dated items so the certification never quietly lapses between annuals.

  6. 6.Airworthiness Directives & Service Bulletins

    Recurring, variesVaries

    Cirrus airframes and their Continental engines carry recurring ADs, and Cirrus issues its own Service Bulletins and Advisories. The recurring ones are the easiest to lose track of between annuals.

    In Maggneto: Maggneto tracks recurring ADs as scheduled items with a countdown and keeps a record of when each was last addressed.

  7. 7.TKS anti-ice system service

    Filter & periodic serviceCondition

    If your Cirrus carries the TKS 'weeping wing' anti-ice system, the filters, proportioning unit, and fluid all need periodic service to keep it working the day you actually need it.

    In Maggneto: Add TKS service as a custom recurring item so a system you only use a few times a year doesn't get forgotten.

  8. 8.ELT inspection & battery

    Inspection plus battery on a fixed cycleCalendar

    Your emergency locator transmitter needs a periodic inspection and a battery replacement based on calendar life or cumulative use.

    In Maggneto: Maggneto keeps the ELT inspection and battery on the schedule alongside the rest of your recurring items.

  9. 9.Ship's batteries

    Capacity check yearly; replace ~3–5 yearsCalendar or condition

    A Cirrus runs its essential avionics and electrical system off its batteries. Capacity fades with age, and a weak battery turns into a dispatch problem at the worst time.

    In Maggneto: Track battery age and capacity-check dates so a replacement is something you plan for, not something you scramble on at a cold ramp.

  10. 10.Brakes, tires & wear items

    Condition-basedCondition

    Brakes, tires, hoses, and similar wear items don't run on a clean clock. They need recurring eyes-on and timely replacement.

    In Maggneto: Log each inspection and replacement against the airplane so you can see wear trends and keep the history attached to the part.

These are some of the most common items a Cirrus owner tracks, not a complete list. Every airplane carries more depending on its equipment, avionics, modifications, and service history, and your mechanic and the aircraft's maintenance documents are the final word on what applies to your tail number. Maggneto lets you add and track as many custom items as your airplane needs.

The repack you saw coming three years out

It's spring and you open Maggneto before a trip. The annual is up to date, the oil change is due soon, and the CAPS repack is still two years out but already on your radar with a countdown, so you've been quietly setting money aside for it. After the flight you log the Hobbs and an oil check in under a minute, and the burn-rate trend updates itself. Nothing about your airplane is a mystery, and nothing sneaks up on you.

A Cirrus rewards an owner who stays ahead of it. Maggneto keeps every date and every hour in front of you, and turns your records into something worth real money when you sell.

Cirrus (SR20 / SR22) maintenance: common questions

How often does a Cirrus CAPS parachute need to be repacked?
The Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) is repacked on a 10-year cycle. It's the most expensive scheduled maintenance item on the aircraft, typically a five-figure event, and it comes due on a fixed calendar date regardless of hours flown.
What is the TBO on a Cirrus SR22 engine?
The Continental IO-550-N in the SR22 carries a published time between overhauls of roughly 2,000 hours or 12 years, whichever comes first. The SR20's engine carries a similar published TBO. Actual overhaul timing depends on how the engine is flown and monitored.
How often does a Cirrus need an annual inspection?
Every certified Cirrus requires an annual inspection every 12 calendar months, regardless of how many hours it flew that year.
How often should I change the oil in a Cirrus?
Continental recommends an oil and filter change about every 50 hours or 4 months, whichever comes first. Tracking oil consumption between changes also gives early warning of engine wear.
What maintenance records do I need to sell a Cirrus?
Buyers and their pre-buy mechanics want complete, organized records: airframe and engine logs, CAPS repack history, AD compliance, the most recent annual, and any major work. A clean, searchable record speeds the sale and protects resale value. A disorganized one drags out negotiations and lowers the price.
Can Maggneto track CAPS, ADs, and the annual for my Cirrus?
Yes. Maggneto tracks the CAPS repack, the annual, oil changes, engine TBO, transponder and pitot-static checks, recurring ADs, and your own custom items, each with a clear status and a countdown to the next due date.
