The system monitors airspeed to protect the pilot from accidentally deploying or retracting flaps when the aircraft is traveling too fast or too slow for the given flap configuration change. Both the left and right controls vibrate to warn of an approaching stall condition.Īnother new addition to envelope protection is flap airspeed protection. Pilots will also find an improved flight control, incorporating a stick shaker function to piggyback on the other envelope protection features in the Perspective+ series, for enhanced low-speed situational awareness. In the air, the automatic fuel selection system automatically switches between fuel tanks every 5 gallons. Still on the ground, Taxiway Routing and a contextualized 3D Safe Taxi guide the pilot around complex airport layouts, decluttering and slewing the PFD imagery to match the airplane’s speed and position on the airport. To this end, Cirrus has introduced a new shallower menu structure in the touchscreen controllers, along with a scroll wheel for turning through the CAS-linked, on-screen checklists smoothly. While that sounds like a contradiction, perhaps, pilots like FLYING’s Dick Karl have opined about the complexity involved in stepping down from a light jet back into the high-performance piston world. It’s telling that Cirrus Aircraft looked up the model line to its Vision Jet to drive out complexity from its core single-engine pistons, sending its engineers on a journey to find ways to make the SRs as straightforward to operate as the jet. SUBSCRIBE: Get the We Fly Report in Issue 945 Cirrus Global Connect delivers worldwide text messaging, telephone service, and global weather. And the Cirrus IQ app gives the pilot remote viewing and control of certain aircraft functions. Updated synoptic pages and streamlined checklists aid the pilot in monitoring both systems and procedures throughout all phases of flight. The updated automated flight control system (AFCS) incorporates smart servos and includes an optional yaw damper. Engine start has transformed into a push-button interface, preserving the ability to check mags and set mixture while making the process feel similar to that of the SF50. Till then, a quick reveal…Ĭentral to the updates is the reimagined Perspective Touch+ integrated flight deck with 12- or 14-inch high-resolution displays, and twin GTC touchscreen controllers, to mimic the functionality and redundancy available in the Vision Jet SF50. All three 2024 models have completed the FAA type certification process and are ready for delivery.įLYING took an exclusive first series of flights with the striking new G7 in the SR22 version in early December for a We Fly pilot report that will debut in Issue 945/February 2024, reaching subscribers later this month. Rethought from the inside out, the G7 series-including the SR20, SR22, and SR22T-takes cues from the Vision Jet to simplify operation while incorporating added safety and luxury features. With no small amount of stealth leading up to the big reveal, Cirrus Aircraft announced in a live event Thursday its latest installment of the SR series, the SR G7.
