Human Factors
While performing take offs and landings at Trenton airport; we climbed off the runway aware that there was traffic in the pattern.Although initially we did not see that traffic; the Cirrus system warned us and subsequently we found the traffic entering the downwind as we were already there. We had planned to do a close traffic approach; the other airplane seemed to have extended their pattern.Evasive action was performed and we continued in the pattern. Tower asked us to do a 360 degree turn away from the airport to space the traffic and we entered the downwind behind the other airplane. There were no additional events.
SR22 pilot reported an NMAC shortly after takeoff from TTN airport.
