I did an introductory flight in a Cirrus SR20, N259SR operated by Mach 1 Aviation out of Van Nuys Airport (KVNY), CA. I was a little apprehensive as I have never flown a side sick before, turns out it was second nature. The instructor allowed me to do everything, including two unassisted landings. I have to say, the transition was very smooth and rewarding. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of power this airplane has, 200hp. Having flown 235hp Piper's I was worried about it being too little. This airplane has some get up and go! Climbing at over 1500 feet per minute and 130 knots at a low cruise was the norm. The handling of the aircraft is impeccable. Airplane rolls into turn very smooth but has trouble keeping the nose up at increased bank angles. Check out Mach 1 Aviation if you are looking for transition to Cirrus training. The airplanes are well maintained and the staff/instructors are very nice.
