The manuals and supplements provided here are for generic review of the aircraft. You should always refer to the manual in your specific aircraft for specific guidance and regularly check the Cirrus Tech Pubs Portal for the latest available revision. The front page of each manual refers to serial number(s) to which it applies. However, this is still a generic manual because it does not include the weight and balance of the specific aircraft, or the supplements included in that specific aircraft.
