The SR22TN is a turbonormalized SR22, and Garmin Perspective is the Cirrus integrated avionics suite based on Garmin’s G1000. Owners who choose this combination tend to fly long legs at higher altitudes, on oxygen, and spend much of the trip working the avionics rather than the throttle.
On that kind of trip, the risk is less about forgetting how to fly and more about missing a step in a long flow. A checklist written for the SR22TN with Perspective keeps the sequence consistent from start-up to shutdown. It works alongside the airplane’s POH/AFM and any supplements that apply to the turbo installation, which govern everything, so confirm the checklist matches your airplane’s year and equipment.
Quick answer: The CheckMate Cirrus SR22TN Perspective Checklist is a cockpit checklist for pilots who fly the Cirrus SR22TN, the turbonormalized SR22, with the Garmin Perspective avionics. It comes as CheckMate, CheckMate+ or CheckMate Pro in Standard (6.5″ x 9″) or Compact (5″ x 7″) sizes. It’s meant to supplement the airplane’s POH/AFM, not replace it, so confirm it matches your exact model, year, engine and handbook before relying on it. It’s listed on Skyfarer and available at Skyfarer Shop.

- CheckMate. The design that started it all, with the familiar legacy look, in Standard (6.5″ x 9″) or Compact (5″ x 7″).

Getting the most from it
- Start with a match check. Confirm the checklist fits your exact model, year and engine by comparing it with the airplane’s POH/AFM.
- Compare it with the POH/AFM before the first flight. Supplements for avionics, autopilots and other modifications can change procedures, so read those too. The handbook always governs.
- Check the supplements. Turbonormalized SR22s can carry supplements that change procedures and limitations. Read the checklist against the POH/AFM and every supplement that applies to your airplane.
- Keep it where your hand finds it. Decide where the checklist lives in flight and keep it there every time. Standard (6.5″ x 9″) and Compact (5″ x 7″) sizes give you a choice.
Checklist and handbook
Any checklist, including this one, works alongside the airplane’s POH/AFM rather than in place of it. The handbook and its supplements have the final word on procedures, speeds and limitations.
Before you rely on it, confirm it matches your airplane’s exact model, year and engine, and check it against the handbook that belongs to that airplane, including any supplements for modifications or avionics.
Pilot tip: On long legs at altitude, set a recurring time to check oxygen, fuel and engine indications. A checklist is only as good as the moments you choose to use it.
