I just thought it might be a good idea to come up with a list of a few of the general aviation manufacturers that post the Pilot Information Manuals online for all to download. Might be a good idea so that those who are interested can learn about different systems which the aircraft they are currently flying might not have. Anyway, here are some of the ones I have found.

Cirrus:
SR-20: http://www.cirrusdesign.com/servicecenters/TechPubs/pdf/POH/SR20-003/pdf/13999-003InfoManualOct05.pdf
SR-22: http://www.cirrusdesign.com/servicecenters/TechPubs/pdf/POH/sr22/pdf/20880-001InfoManualOct05.pdf

Also for cirrus, they have this online "magazine" that is supposed to be somewhat like recurrent training for people who fly cirrus. You dont have to be a pilot to register, but every month they go over a different aspect of flying and how it relates to their aircraft, pretty neat thing that I wish more companies would do. Here is the link to sign up: http://www.cirrusdesign.com/pilotsworld/

Columbia (Lancair) Aircraft:

Diamond:

DA40 (Diamond Star-fixed pitch prop) http://www.diamondair.com/pdfs/owners_world/technical_bulletins/DA40/DA40FP_AFM_Rev0.pdf
DA40 (Diamond Star-Constant Speed Prop) http://www.diamond-air.at/support/techda40.htm
DA20-C1: http://www.diamondair.com/pdfs/owners_world/technical_bulletins/DA20-C1/DA20-C1_AFM_incl_Rev20.pdf
DA20-A1:

These are all I've been able to find, I'm surprised that more manufacturers dont publish this information. You would think that they would want pilots to have easy access to the information needed to safely operate their planes, but I guess not. I really like Cirrus' approach to keepting people well educated.

Feel free to add to the list if you can think of any.
