SAFETY COMES STANDARD

Nothing is more important to us than your safety. We pioneered the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS™) technology to give pilots and passengers one more option in the event of a serious in-flight emergency. When activated, the life-saving CAPS™ system launches a 55-foot diameter parachute that lowers the airplane to the ground while suspended securely beneath the parachute. The security and peace-of-mind provided by CAPS™ is unequalled, and it comes standard with all Cirrus aircraft as part of our role as the industry’s safety leader.

Cirrus revolutionized the industry by bringing the same dynamic advanced avionics into our cockpits that you’d find onboard the world’s top commercial airliners. TAWS (Terrain Awareness Warning System), now a standard installation on all Cirrus aircraft, helps keep you clear of terrain and obstacles, while SKYWATCH™ alerts you to airborne traffic. E-TAWS (Enhanced Terrain Avoidance Warning System) is also available complete with aural warning as an optional additional safety feature.

Our inadvertent icing protection system helps keep critical surfaces clear of ice while you maneuver safely out of icing conditions. The innovative cuffed leading edge wing design allows increased stability and roll authority at slow speeds to provide greater stall protection.

Standard safety features also include high ‘G’ energy-absorbing seats, airframe roll cage, four-point harness restraint system, and airbag seatbelts.
