At the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh show in July, Cirrus unveiled its newest model, the TRAC10 dedicated trainer. Designed in concert with Cirrus’ Chinese partners at parent company AVIC, the TRAC10 is similar to the AG100 trainer that was certified in China. In the U.S., Cirrus received FAA certification for its version, the SR10, in 2023, but didn’t bring it to market until recently.

When it was certified, said Ivy McIver, executive director of the SR product line, “We put it on the shelf because it didn’t make sense for us to commercialize it at the time. We continued to evaluate the training market, and now was the right time for us to bring it to market. There’s a tremendous need for a flight-training-specific, purpose-built aircraft.”
