What are real world cruising speeds in a Cirrus turbo?

What altitude? And how hard do you want to run it?
Also, are you considering a T or TN?

If you have the data at 8-10 and 15k feet that would be good. 65-75% power.
Data for T or TN would be helpful.

Touchdown! Greaser!
for real world speeds I suggest looking at flightaware....and watching the traffic.

True if I knew the N numbers of the planes and how they were flying them.

No....you can watch all the turbo versions. Go to flight tracking by aircraft type.....
scroll down to what you're interested in.....and zoom in. https://www.flightaware.com/live/aircrafttype/
you can see the N number, altitude, and ground speeds. https://www.flightaware.com/live/aircrafttype/S22T
Without knowing the engine settings and fuel burns....they (S22T) perform similarly to the turbo Mooneys M20T, turbo Bonanzas BT36, and all other turbo aircraft.

And different for altitudes. 170 knots is slower than I ever saw. Here is 192 at 17,000 feet. 75% power. The turbo Cirrus is a beast. The NA… meh, just another vanilla high performance plane. ;-)

I flight plan at 185 for my Ovation. Trying to limit my loss in speed.

My TN reliably did 200 KTAS at 17,500 burning ~17 GPH
Ts tend to be ~5-10 knots slower.
Try to find a good tailwind and they can really cover ground (yes I was in a slow descent but come on, 352 kts!)

Smoking Rudy. That is a really good day in my turboprop!!
I hate slowing down that much.

Really slow if you're in Mexico with it and you don't remove the turbo badges on it.
Because if they see them they'll put Jet-A in the tanks.

It’s actually pretty decent even for the mustang!
