Safety
Safety of flight is the cornerstone of the Cirrus design. Our aircraft have the latest technology available for viewing the weather, alerting the pilot to the location of other aircraft, terrain awareness and ice protection. In the event of a serious in-flight emergency, the revolutionary CAPSâ„¢ Cirrus Airframe Parachute System gives passengers one more option. When deployed, the CAPSâ„¢ system launches a 55 foot diameter parachute which lowers the entire aircraft safely to the ground. “The plane with the parachute”… safety and peace of mind… standard equipment in a Cirrus aircraft.
Learn more about how this system works in this video by the Discovery Science channel’s show “How Do they Do It?”
