Airbag Seatbelt – In the event of an accident, the Cirrus airbag seatbelt will help protect you and your front-seat passenger with technology proven in the automotive industry. Within milliseconds of an accident, an airbag "pillow" is deployed to help shield the occupants' head and upper body.

Dual Garmin 430Ws – With two Communication Radios, two Navigation Radios, and two GPS Receivers, the dual Garmin 430Ws offer the greatest possible level of redundancy. When coupled with the Avidyne Entegra Flight Deck, they give you the ability to display up to four customizable maps simultaneously, greatly enhancing situational awareness. Each Garmin 430W works independently, giving you self-contained navigation and communications in virtually any condition. And now, with WAAS technology, you can enjoy even greater performance and flexibility.

S-TEC 55X Autopilot – Designed with simplicity in mind, the S-TEC 55X autopilot reduces pilot workload and allows you to arrive at your destination refreshed and alert. This autopilot boasts all of the standard features you would expect in any autopilot, but it also offers altitude pre-select, GPS steering, and ILS glideslope coupling. In the unlikely event of a PFD failure, the autopilot will still help you get home safely with its independent control and navigation inputs.

Air Conditioning – Our factory-installed air conditioning system – available as an option on the SR22-G3 – uses a 3-speed fan to fill the cabin with cool, refreshing air on even the hottest day. If you want enhanced ventilation without the addition of air conditioning, we also offer an environmental system that circulates fresh air with a 3-speed fan.

CAPS™ – Cirrus airplanes are uniquely designed from the parachute outward. Developed by Cirrus and BRS™, CAPS is a rocket-deployed 55-foot (17 m) parachute that provides an extra margin of safety to Cirrus pilots and passengers in the unlikely event of an emergency. Normally hidden beneath the sleek surface of the airframe, strong Kevlar straps are ready to suspend the entire airplane beneath the canopy. Once the overhead handle is pulled by the pilot or passenger, the parachute lowers the airplane and its occupants to the ground. Cirrus is the only manufacturer of Part 23 certified aircraft to include such a parachute as a standard feature.

Ice Protection – The Cirrus TKS ice protection system provides an effective way to help you make a safe retreat from unexpected encounters with airframe icing. The innovative glycol-based anti-ice solution* is delivered via durable titanium panel ‘weeping wing’ micro-hole technology. Unlike lesser systems, TKS provides a clean solution to the prevention and removal of airframe icing. A slinger ring also directs TKS fluid onto the propeller, preventing ice build-up and keeping your windshield clear for a safe approach and landing.

*TKS anti-ice solution is non-corrosive to composite aircraft.

Recognition Lights – The Generation Three’s new leading-edge wing tip recognition lights enhance ground visibility at night during the taxi, take off and landing phases of flight to better illuminate what's in front of you. While you're in flight, the recognition lights make you more visible to other pilots, even during daylight hours.

Composite Prop – The Hartzell 3-blade lightweight composite propeller is 12 lbs (5.4 kg) lighter than aluminum. The reduced mass and inertia results in less vibration and a smoother ride.

Master Switch Panel – The master switch panel has been redesigned, incorporating a number of new features. The switches are now recessed to prevent inadvertent power cycling during flight. The entire unit is now backlit with a dimmer control for better visibility at night. In addition, LED lights have been installed to make it easy for pilots to differentiate between switches that are turned off and those that are turned on at night.

Single Power Lever – Our SIMPLE™ Single Movement Power Lever – conveniently located on the center console – is a proprietary design incorporating the propeller governor lever with the throttle lever. Propeller speed is adjusted for you automatically, minimizing your workload and maximizing your flying enjoyment. Why bother with two power levers when you can make flying as simple as push forward, go fast?

Oversized Doors – The enormous gull-wing doors mean no ducking or crawling, since they allow for the easiest of entry and exit – even for backseat passengers. And there are no vulnerable door seals for passengers to accidentally puncture. Once the doors are closed, you and your passengers will enjoy the panoramic view from the large windows that increase both comfort and visibility.

Continental Engines – Power to the pilot. World-renowned Continental engines are a proven source of reliable, durable power for all Cirrus aircraft. All SR22-G3 models are fuel-injected, six cylinder engines with a tuned exhaust system and 6-point mount for smooth, low-vibration travel. The extraordinary 310 hp IO-550 engine is not only powerful, it’s rugged and fuel-efficient as well.

Roll Cage – In addition to the phenomenal strength of the composite airframe structure, the Cirrus 3g roll cage surrounds you and your passengers in an enclosed zone of safety. 26g seats utilize Cirrus Energy Absorbing Technology™ (CEAT™) to absorb energy and help protect all occupants.

Dual Side Yoke – An ergonomically correct dual side yoke helps make flying easy and comfortable. Your hand rests naturally around the side yoke, and the electric trim is easily thumb-operated. Radio push-to-talk and autopilot disconnect are also at your fingertips.

Cuffed Wing – Prevention is key when it comes to avoiding inadvertent stalls and spins. Our innovative, NASA-inspired wing produces exceptional handling and roll control at slow speeds with gentle pre-stall characteristics and warning. The wing is a blend of several high-performance airfoils and is easily recognized by the extended leading edge section or ‘cuff’. This unique wing design also provides improved resistance to spin entry during an inadvertent stall.
