“We’re excited to introduce the SR Series G7+, the aircraft that anyone can land in the event of an emergency with the touch of a single button,” said Zean Nielsen, Chief Executive Officer of Cirrus. “As the largest personal aircraft manufacturer in the world, delivering approximately 600 SR Series aircraft per year, the addition of Safe Return Emergency Autoland on a single-engine piston aircraft brings technology previously only available on larger turbine and turboprop aircraft to a greater number of pilots, spouses and their passengers for added peace of mind. The SR Series G7+ launch, along with our expanding ecosystem and Cirrus IQ platform, underscores our commitment to safety and relentless pursuit of innovation.” 

Cirrus has historically led the industry in making safety innovations such as the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System® (CAPS®) and now Safe Return Emergency Autoland as standard equipment. With over 10,000 SR Series aircraft manufactured and 17 million flight hours accumulated since 1999, Cirrus continues to grow the industry and invent solutions that make flying safer and more approachable. 

安全返回 Emergency Autoland 

The Safe Return Emergency Autoland system uses a combination of advanced sensors, sophisticated algorithms and automated flight control systems to enable the aircraft to autonomously land safely without pilot input. With a single push of a button, the system takes control of the aircraft, communicates with air traffic control, navigates to the nearest suitable airport while avoiding terrain and adverse weather, autonomously lands the aircraft bringing it to a complete stop, shuts down the engine and stops the propeller so that passengers can exit the aircraft safely. 

安全返回 Emergency Autoland Activation: 

• Straightforward Activation: In the event of an emergency, the pilot or passengers can activate the system with a simple push of a button, which is centrally positioned in the aircraft’s cabin ceiling, initiating Safe Return Emergency Autoland.  

• Advanced Algorithms: The system is powered by sophisticated onboard sensors and algorithms that adapt to changing conditions and enable navigation through the airspace, calculate runway parameters, and detect real-time weather and terrain. 

• Fully Automated Flight Control: Safe Return Emergency Autoland autonomously controls the autopilot and engine to fly the aircraft and execute a safe landing sequence.  

• Air Traffic Control: The system continuously communicates with air traffic control during the flight and automatically switches to different frequencies as the aircraft travels to the most suitable airport. 

• Passenger Experience: Passengers are kept informed with straightforward information on the flight displays, including airport destination, arrival time, and remaining fuel. Next steps are also clearly communicated over headsets. Passengers can press the “Talk” button on the flight display to speak directly to air traffic control.  

安全返回 Emergency Autoland can be activated both manually and automatically. Anyone in the cabin can activate Safe Return Emergency Autoland at the press of a button. If a pilot is alone or those in the cabin are unable to activate it manually, Safe Return Emergency Autoland is designed to activate automatically if the system determines that the pilot is flying erratically or is unresponsive. Safe Return Emergency Autoland can be disconnected by pressing the autopilot disconnect button at any time the pilot decides. 

Additional SR Series G7+ Features 

With the SR Series G7+, Automatic Database Updates powered by Cirrus IQ PRO are now available through a subscription in the Cirrus IQ app for connected aircraft owners. Automatic Database Updates allow owners to receive automatic avionics database updates via Wi-Fi or LTE to ensure the most current and accurate data for navigation. These updates can occur while the aircraft is powered off and the owner is away from the aircraft. When the aircraft is powered up, essential databases are automatically synchronized across compatible avionics.  

Runway Occupancy Awareness leverages ADS-B traffic data to predict and alert pilots of potential runway incursions from nearby airborne aircraft or other aircraft on or approaching the runway. Visual and aural alerts are provided on the pilot’s primary flight display and 3D SafeTaxi map to maximize situational awareness, a safety feature that is especially useful at busy airports. 

Smart Pitot Heat is enabled by systems integration through Perspective Touch+ to reduce pilot workload and automate the flying experience. The system performs a self-test before every flight and automatically turns on or off in flight depending on outside air temperatures, making it one less system to manage. 

Cirrus Safety Innovation Philosophy 

Cirrus has a long history of revolutionizing aviation safety and remains steadfast in its mission to continuously innovate, remove barriers of entry and invite more people to experience Personal Aviation with safety and peace of mind built into every aircraft. From advancing avionics systems to exploring autonomous flight, Cirrus is committed to manufacturing aircraft that not only meet today’s needs but also anticipate tomorrow’s challenges.

The Call to Fly: A Dream Rediscovered 

Scott’s story with aviation didn’t start with the Vision Jet, but it began with a dream that was put on hold. “I was set to go to the Naval Academy out of high school and was offered a pilot slot,” Scott recalls. “But then that was taken away due to an astigmatism. So, ultimately, I ended up not going into the Navy and pursued another career, but I always wanted to fly.” 

Years later, after dropping their daughter off at college, his wife, Kim, reignited that spark. “Scott had always had this dream of flying, and when our kids left the house, we found ourselves at a crossroads. What do we do now?” Kim remembers. “I was a stay-at-home mom, and I thought, ‘What’s my new life going to be?’ So, I said to Scott, ‘How about now we reach for our dreams? You become a pilot, and I’ll write a book and get it published.’ And we sat down and said, ‘Let’s do it.’” 

The two embarked on their respective journeys—Scott diving into flight training and Kim writing her book. “I’d be writing at night, and he’d be studying,” she says. “And a year later, my book came out, and Scott had his pilot’s license. We did it.” 

A New Beginning with Cirrus 

Scott continued his training, earning his Private Pilot’s License and Instrument Rating. He knew the next step was purchasing an aircraft, but before making a decision, he asked Kim a critical question: “Are you going to fly with me?” 

Her answer was an immediate no. “So that kind of put a damper on the whole pursuit of aviation because I wanted it to be something we could do together,” Scott says. But then he had an idea. “I said, ‘What if the plane had a parachute?’” 

Kim’s response? “I am not jumping out of a plane with a parachute!” she laughs. 

Scott reassured her: “No, no. The entire plane has a parachute.” That changed everything. “If that’s the case, I’m in. I could do that,” Kim recalls. 

After an experience flight with Dan Arch of Northwest Flight Service and meeting with Ivy McIver, Executive Director of the SR Series Product Line, Kim was sold. “The Cirrus Vision Jet with the parachute, and now with the Safe Return button, totally took my fear away. It gave me extra peace of mind,” she says. “If we did have an engine issue, we could pull that chute. And if, heaven forbid, anything happened to Scott, I can get the plane on the ground as simple as pushing a button.” 

From SR Series to Vision Jet 

For Scott, the Vision Jet represents both efficiency and adventure. “I would put two words to it: It’s a time machine and an adventure machine,” he says. “With work, I can get where I need to go quickly and still be home for dinner. But the other part is adventure. We’ve been able to go places we never thought about going. Instead of saying, ‘How can we get there?’ Now it’s, ‘Why aren’t we going?’” 

Scott’s journey to the Vision Jet started with the SR Series, where he built confidence and experience as a pilot. As his travel needs evolved, so did his aircraft. “Moving up to the Vision Jet was a natural step,” he shares. “It gave us more capability without losing the simplicity and safety we loved in the SR Series.” 

Kim adds that the ability to take their grandson flying has made it even more special. “To have your grandbaby up in the air and know you have that extra safety, it’s everything,” she said. 

卷云生活: Freedom and Flexibility 

Scott’s journey encapsulates what we call “The Cirrus Life”—a lifestyle defined by freedom, safety and a commitment to living life on your own terms. “The Cirrus Life is the ability to pack up and go where we want, when we want,” Scott says.  

That’s what the Cirrus Life is all about: creating experiences that give our customers the freedom to live life fully, to take their dreams to new heights and to do so with the confidence that they are in the safest, most innovative aircraft available. 

For Scott and Kim, embracing the Cirrus Life has been about more than just flying. It’s about unlocking a world of opportunities, creating lifelong memories and having the peace of mind that comes with knowing their safety is always a priority. Through the Vision Jet, they’ve found not just a means of travel, but a way to live with purpose, adventure and freedom. 

At Cirrus, we are honored to be part of Scott and Kim’s story and the stories of countless other owners who trust us to help them live the Cirrus Life. Are you ready to begin your journey?

The post Maintaining Your Cirrus Aircraft appeared first on Cirrus.

As of January 2025, EAGLE is actively evaluating three potentially feasible alternatives/replacements for 100LL: GAMI G100UL, LyondellBasell/VP Racing UL100E, and Swift 100R. GAMI G100UL is the first unleaded, 100-octane aviation fuel to be offered to aircraft owners and operators directly, and the fuel began distribution to aircraft owners in November 2024. It is currently offered at 3 airports: KRHW (Reid-Hillview Airport of Santa Clara County, California), KWVI (Watsonville Municipal Airport, California), and KTUP (Tupelo Regional Airport, Mississippi).

Cirrus has been engaged in a comprehensive testing and evaluation program of the GAMI G100UL fuel for over a decade and has been monitoring field experience with GAMI G100UL since November 2024. While some aspects of the initial Cirrus testing of the GAMI G100UL fuel were encouraging, Cirrus has identified specific concerns regarding material compatibility. Lab testing in coordination with FAA representatives and on-aircraft field observations revealed seal degradation when in contact with GAMI G100UL fuel that has resulted in damage to airframe components and could create airworthiness concerns. We are actively engaged with a Cirrus owner who began using GAMI G100UL in November 2024 and has since observed paint degradation, seal degradation, and fuel leakage. Cirrus is working with the FAA and the aircraft owner to conduct further investigation and testing. There have also been reports of non-Cirrus aircraft owners observing similar paint and seal degradation and fuel leaks since using GAMI G100UL which have been posted in various online forums.

While Cirrus is committed to a safe and timely transition to unleaded aviation fuel, at this time Cirrus does not approve the use of GAMI G100UL fuel, or any unleaded fuel, in any Cirrus SR Series airplanes. Additionally, Cirrus currently does not warrant or represent in any way an operator’s use of the GAMI G100UL fuel in SR Series airplanes. The continued safe operation of all Cirrus aircraft around the world remains our top priority.

Cirrus is committed to working directly with industry associations and all stakeholders, including AOPA, GAMA, the FAA, and the EAGLE program, to support the transition to unleaded aviation fuels. Cirrus is dedicated to supporting all major fuel companies in their pursuit to bring alternative high-octane fuels to market with the continued goal of ensuring the operational safety of both the powerplant and airframe fuel systems. As fuels progress through the development and certification process and are offered to aircraft owners, we are committed to conducting materials compatibility, on-aircraft fuel performance testing, field observation, and testing of real-world usage of these fuels. We look forward to ensuring a safe and smooth transition to unleaded fuel for all Cirrus SR Series owners and support AOPA’s efforts to gather feedback regarding unleaded aviation fuel usage via their online survey.

Please refer to Cirrus Service Advisory SA24-14R1 for further information.

“The Cirrus Approach app is a valuable flight training resource for owners and flight instructors by increasing accessibility to content that keeps pilots current and safe,” said Zean Nielsen, CEO of Cirrus. “With the app refresh, we are now able to digitally connect more people to an array of flight training materials accessible at home or in the hangar.” 

One of the key features of the relaunch is the integration of state-of-the-art Augmented Reality (AR) technology, setting a new standard for pre-flight training. The Cirrus Approach app provides an immersive, interactive environment where users can master crucial pre-flight procedures and safety checks specific to the SR Series and Vision Jet. This realistic virtual experience is designed to equip pilots with the skills and confidence they need for real-world operations. 

“The opportunities are endless with the integration of Augmented Reality and flight training – setting a new benchmark in aviation education,” adds Nielsen. “AR is set to transform the flight training experience for Cirrus aircraft owners. We now offer pilots an immersive, interactive way to master essential pre-flight procedures and safety checks in a realistic virtual environment. This innovative approach not only improves learning efficiency but also ensures that pilots are thoroughly prepared for real-world flying.” 

Learn to Fly in the Cirrus Approach App 
Cirrus Private Pilot Program was designed to teach anyone to learn how to fly an SR Series Cirrus aircraft and earn their pilot’s license. Now offered in the Cirrus Approach app, the Private Pilot Program provides an immersive ground school training when partnered with a dedicated Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot (CSIP) through a Cirrus Training Center to help students complete their Private Pilot License in a Cirrus aircraft.  

With over 50 dynamic training courses, the Cirrus Approach app caters to a broad spectrum of flight training needs. From specialty courses to transition training and the highly regarded Private Pilot Program, each course is crafted with engaging videos, interactive modules, documents and quizzes—making learning both effective and enjoyable.  

Instructor Features Enhance Student Pilot Learning Experience 

When paired with a Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot, the Cirrus Approach app elevates the flight training experience for both instructor and student pilot. Benefits include: 

• Mobile Flight Training Access: CSIPs can monitor student progress, review course materials, and stay organized at all times, making it easier to prepare for each training session. 

• Student Management: The app offers an intuitive interface for CSIPs to manage students’ flight logs, assess performance, and customize instruction to meet individual needs. 

• Interactive Course Material: Engaging quizzes and simulations simplify complex topics, empowering CSIPs to provide high-quality training. 

• Real-Time Adaptability: CSIPs can quickly adapt to their students’ learning needs, providing instant feedback to ensure effective learning. 

可用性 

The Cirrus Private Pilot Program is available for purchase directly within the Cirrus Approach app. Additionally, Cirrus is currently offering the AR preflight feature at no cost, exclusively within the app.
