About the Cirrus SF50

The Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet is a single-engine very light jet built by Cirrus Aircraft of Duluth, Minnesota. Cirrus developed it for personal use rather than the corporate or air-taxi market.

More than 700 of the type remain on the U.S. civil registry, which places the Vision Jet fourth by active fleet size within Cirrus Aircraft's lineup. About 90% of all SF50s ever entered on the U.S. register are still registered.

Across the type's FAA-registration exposure, the Vision Jet records an accident rate of about 3 per 1,000 aircraft-years. Set against comparable aircraft matched on type, engine class, and seat range, the SF50 has a lower accident rate than most, higher than about one in seven. Of the type's 10 recorded accidents, none involved a fatality.

Asking Prices

What sellers are asking for the Cirrus SF50, across current listings, grouped by model year.
As of October 19, 2026. How we calculate this.

Years Currency Typical asking range Median
2018–2019 USD ≈ $2.00M – $2.38M ≈ $2.17M

These are asking prices, not sale prices. What any one aircraft asks or sells for can swing widely with airframe and engine condition, damage history, avionics, paint and interior, logbooks and service records, and plenty else a listing never shows.

Safety Analysis

Composition of NTSB accident records for this model in general-aviation operations (FAR Part 91 and 137), based on NTSB data as of May 1, 2026. It's a breakdown of recorded accidents rather than a safety rating, and types with significant non-GA operation (such as Part 135) may be under-represented.

Comparison

Within its peer cohort

Within this model's peer class (same aircraft type, engine class, and seat range), comparison of its share of recorded NTSB accidents to its share of FAA registration exposure (aircraft-years since 2008).

This is a share comparison, not flight-hours adjusted, so a model flown more per airframe than its peers will show an accident share above its exposure share even if its per-hour safety is average. Methodology →
