Uncompromising safety of Cirrus aircraft
Safety lies in a precisely crafted combination of numerous elements to minimize risk and manage undesirable conditions if they occur. Every detail is a protective layer that consists of innovative systems that move from passive to redundant and then active. Every Cirrus Aircraft SR Series model has been designed with passenger safety in mind, through the purposeful integration of many robust safety measures.
Safe Return™ - Emergency automatic landing at the touch of a button
The safest aircraft in its class
As the only aircraft in its General Aviation category, Cirrus offers a high standard of safety equipment and a large number of optional features that further enhance safety. Cirrus ensures safety in its aircraft in four ways: aerodynamics and other passive features protect you from inattention or distraction; situational awareness and stress reduction features reduce workload and help you give your flight the attention it requires. If you do lose control, there's the CAPS parachute, and if it does end in an accident, the durable design will help protect you from injury.
Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS)
Pioneering the standard in safety and famously known as the “plane with the parachute,” Cirrus Aircraft equips every aircraft with its signature Cirrus Airframe Parachute System® (CAPS®) — perhaps the most significant safety innovation in over a half-century of general aviation. CAPS revolutionized general aviation safety by providing an additional measure of safety to occupants, similar in theory to the role of seatbelts in automobiles. No other certified general aviation aircraft manufacturer in the world provides this safety feature as standard equipment. Driven by the profound passion to create safer airplanes, safer pilots and safer skies. Not just for Cirrus pilots, but all pilots. Flying safely will always be our most fundamental mission.

Stall/spin barrier system
Every Cirrus SR-Series aircraft incorporates the NASA-developed wing technology with a “cuffed” discontinuous leading edge designed to minimize the potential for spin entry after an inadvertent stall. The digital, three-axis autopilot enables the Electronic Stability & Protection (ESP) system which passively and unobtrusively corrects unusual flight attitudes even when the autopilot is not engaged. It displays a pre-stall CAS message warning while the yoke automatically pushes forward to correct low airspeed conditions. Automated ESP supports the pilot and works to prevent the aircraft from entering a stalled condition.

Digital autopilot
Supreme accuracy. Building on smart servo technology commonly found in multi-milliondollar business jets, the fully digital, dual channel Automated Flight Control System (AFCS) delivers precise lateral and vertical navigation guidance for each phase of flight. Commanding the architecture of each flight component with an ergonomic and thoughtfully placed mode controller, the autopilot also incorporates the industry-leading Blue Level Button. This active safety feature gives the pilot a single touch autopilot-engage button to roll wings level and pitch to a level attitude if momentarily distracted or disoriented.

Smart Back Up
Simply put, one back up is not enough. Cirrus Perspective+ incorporates redundancy, fault tolerance, and robustness to provide the safest, most reliable, all-digital flight deck experience available. Each Cirrus aircraft is equipped with two alternators, two batteries, and multiple electrical buses to isolate essential equipment and insure that power can be supplied to critical components even if multiple power source failures are experienced. Dual Air Data Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (ADAHRS) are also standard equipment, ensuring the autopilot is available even after the unlikely event of an ADAHRS failure, providing the ultimate in flight deck reliability.

Cirrus Approach Training
Every safe and successful takeoff and landing can be traced back to some previous learning interaction. At Cirrus Aircraft, we see each interaction as an opportunity to create the safest pilot possible through high quality and impactful training. Cirrus Approach delivers engaging, video-driven online courses and interactive digital manuals that create a rich learning path and allow for convenient distance learning at a student’s own pace. That which is learned on the ground is then applied in the air through the world-class network of Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilots (CSIP.) Training is robust and convenient – tailored to your lifestyle. We believe that aviation training is never a singular event – it must be recurring and for life. That’s our approach.

Modern design and innovative technology
High-speed processors support enhanced security features such as SurfaceWatch™, animated satellite weather and more. It's easy to see why the G6 is the smartest, safest and most innovative piston aircraft available today.
Cuffed wing
Thanks to the well-made aerodynamic shape in connection with powerful propulsion, Cirrus outperforms other aircraft in its category. However, one of the questions in the development was, how to achieve great flight characteristics at slow speeds. The result of the development is a “cuffed wing design”. It consists of two profiles, the first (closer to the wing root) allows smooth flight at higher speeds, the second profile (farther from the root of the wing) ensures good flight characteristics and maneuverability during slow flight.

Enhanced Vision System (EVS)
This system represents another safety feature available in Cirrus Aircraft. Optional installation of EVS sensors allows pilots to see up to three times further through some low-visibility conditions like mist, rain and the dark of night, giving pilots a real-time, unobstructed and hyper- realistic view of the terrain ahead. For pilots flying precision and non-precision approaches into challenging airports, or identifying clouds while flying VFR at night, EVS advances situational awareness to levels never before realized in a single-engine piston aircraft.

Situational awareness
Tactical advantage. Synthetic Vision Technology™ (SVT) seamlessly blends aircraft position with 3D topographic images while the Terrain Awareness and Warning System (eTAWS) provides caution and warning alerts both visually and audibly. In addition to these capabilities, the “forward looking” terrain avoidance equipment warns the pilot of numerous hazards including premature and excessive rates of descent, negative climb rate or altitude loss after takeoff. Highway in the Sky (HITS) offers the pilot the additional peace of mind that the aircraft is on the desired flight path — whether enroute, on approach or on the missed approach.

Surfacewatch™
Progressive alerts. Are you approaching the right runway? Do you know the distance remaining? Is that the correct taxiway? Dynamically enhance your situational awareness both in the air and on the ground as the aircraft enters and moves through the airport environment. Textual advisories are continuously updating the aircraft location and cyan chevrons highlight the correct runway. Most importantly, urgent alerts like “RWY TOO SHORT” or “CHECK RUNWAY” offer an additional cue to improper position.

Spectra™ Wingtip Lighting
Cirrus Spectra™ wingtip lighting makes an iconic statement while increasing brightness two-fold. Automotive-style wingtip halo lighting automatically operates within 300 feet of the surface, and pulsing „wig-wag“ functionality above 300 feet maximizes visibility to others giving the G6 an unmistakable presence anywhere in the world, day and night.

Known ice protection
Current Cirrus SR22 and SR22T models are available with Cirrus Known Ice Protection. It works on principle that TKS fluid is distributed into critical locations – the leading edges. These are made of a thin laser perforated titanium plate. If necessary, glycol-based liquid is then via pump pushed through the micro pores to form a microscopic anti-icing protective film at the depth of the profile. The new FIKI system has protected vertical stabilizer in comparison with the previous system.
