Advanced Avionics Help You Avoid Terrain and Obstacles

Too many aviation accidents come from pilots inadvertently flying into terrain or obstacles. For years the world’s top airlines have all but eliminated this threat – Controlled Flight into Terrain or CFIT – by using sophisticated avionics equipment that helps pilots ‘see’ what’s outside, even in less than perfect weather conditions.

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