CIRRUS SR Series G7 – The aircraft as a lifestyle complement
Owning an airplane opens up a world of freedom and flexibility. Imagine being able to fly wherever you want, whenever you want—without traffic, long lines, crowded terminals, and complete control over your schedule, whether for business or pleasure. This idea may seem overwhelming, but it can be compared to owning a luxury car. This is, in fact, the goal of Cirrus, which sees airplanes as a lifestyle complement.
Cirrus innovates and simplifies the aircraft ownership process and has resources designed to help new owners, such as flight training. As a member of the Cirrus community, you can access an authorized network of over 800 pilots, the Cirrus IQ™ App—a smart way to monitor your aircraft's readiness status from your iPhone, Cirrus One™ Concierge services—customized trip planning, professional pilot services, and hangar storage. Each service is designed to give you peace of mind and more time to enjoy the benefits of personal aviation.
Safety is a key commitment for Cirrus, a recognized global leader in personal aviation. That's why Cirrus aircraft are equipped with the revolutionary Cirrus Airframe Parachute System® (CAPS®), the first FAA-certified full-frame parachute safety system, included as standard equipment on all aircraft. The SR series, for example, is deeply integrated with redundant safety systems that provide unparalleled situational awareness, control, and aircraft confidence.
The SR G7 series features large, high-resolution touchscreens, new safety systems, premium travel amenities, and a connected mobile app. The G7 integrates an intuitive, touchscreen-controlled cockpit with a comfortable, stylish cabin to create an accessible personal aviation experience. This simplified yet incredibly powerful cockpit reduces pilot workload while providing enhanced situational awareness.
Cirrus aircraft are truly designed with people in mind, and the new SR Series G7 is a testament to this philosophy. Featuring Cirrus Perspective Touch+™ by Garmin®, the industry's most advanced flight deck, this is the first piston aircraft to incorporate two Garmin touch controllers. In addition to world-class cabin comfort, technology, and design, the model features CAS-linked checklists, Taxiway Routing, and 3D Safe Taxi to simplify airport ground navigation. The new Push Button Start system modernizes the G7 aircraft's ignition. Additionally, the SR Series G7 features a limited-edition cosmetic package, as well as five new exterior and premium interior cosmetic options.
The Cirrus airframe parachute system is an industry-defining system, exclusive to Cirrus and standard equipment on all Cirrus aircraft. Continuously innovating with safety in mind, the company is now introducing additional advanced safety systems for the G7: Stick Shaker for improved low-speed situational consistency, where the pilot and copilot are alerted by a vibration in the control stick to warn of an impending stall. The SR series G7 thus continues to raise the bar as the modern flight training aircraft for forward-thinking, world-class flight training institutions.
Thinking about new challenges, new paths and a new lifestyle, the personal aircraft is the essential icon for a different lifestyle, a Cirrus Life.
