Re-Imagined Designs for an Enhanced Ramp Presence

New colorways, including bold additions like Titan Grey, Volt and Bimini Blue, join updated design lines that accentuate the distinct curve of the Vision Jet’s carbon fiber fuselage for an unmistakable presence on the ramp, runway or in the air. From the exterior, pilot and passengers step into a remarkably spacious interior designed around the largest cabin in its class, featuring premium leather, bolstered seats, noise reduction and an immersive experience made possible by the panoramic windows unique to the Vision Jet.

The Evolution of the Vision Jet

Launched in 2016, the Vision Jet defined a new category in aviation – the Personal Jet – with its spacious pilot and passenger-friendly cabin featuring panoramic windows, reclining seats, comfortable legroom for five adults and two children and the only turbine aircraft with a whole airframe parachute system as standard equipment. A new milestone in the journey of the Vision Jet was reached in 2018, with the historic win of the Robert J. Collier Trophy from the National Aeronautic Association.

In early 2019, the company announced the launch of the G2 Vision Jet, with enhanced performance, comfort and safety. Evolutionary features included increased cruise altitude, speed and range, along with a newly upgraded Perspective Touch+ by Garmin flight deck. In addition to the upgrades, several innovative technologies were added to the G2 Vision Jet, including a category-first Autothrottle, Flight Stream connectivity and more.

The Vision Jet experienced further evolution with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and, most recently, European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), certification of Safe Return Emergency Autoland – a revolutionary system that allows passengers to land the Vision Jet with just the touch of a button in emergency situations. More recently announced, Garmin’s Autoland technology – which enables Safe Return – was awarded the Collier Trophy by the National Aeronautic Association, previously awarded to Cirrus Aircraft for the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS®) on the Vision Jet. With the prestigious award-winning combination of Safe Return and CAPS, the Vision Jet provides the most comprehensive, must-have total safety solution in general aviation.

To help demonstrate the ease of use of the industry-leading flight deck, we’ve asked our SR Series product team to outline the experience of flying IFR in a 2020 G6 SR Series.

Pre-Departure

1. After a thorough pre-flight briefing and an examination of your aircraft, you’re ready to climb in and taxi out.
2. Using the airport information database you can look up the local clearance / ground / tower frequencies and get your clearance.
3. Next, you can enter your cleared route directly into the Cirrus Perspective+ avionics flightplan page using the convenient QWERTY keypad or wirelessly transfer it via a Bluetooth connection to the panel using either Garmin Pilot or Foreflight and Garmin FlightStream 510.
4. With your aircraft setup for navigation, you work through your electronic pre-taxi and pre-takeoff checklists, using the enter key, each item can be checked off and is stored as completed, even if your flow is interrupted and you go to a different page, when you come back to the checklist, it remembers where you left off.

During Take-Off and Climb

1. A single push of the TO/GA button on the throttle sets up the flight director for takeoff mode. Once cleared for takeoff, set your heading bug on the PDF to your assigned heading and advance the throttle.
2. Unique to a Cirrus aircraft, at 600’ AGL an audible notification reminds you that CAPS® is available, and now you activate the Garmin GFC 700 autopilot. This 3-axis digital autopilot is capable of navigating the rest of the flight until you disconnect it at your approach minimums.
3. As you climb, charted obstacles and terrain are depicted directly on the PFD. And with your route and altitude clearance set in the avionics, you can also see your cleared flight path as highway-in-the-sky boxes in the synthetic vision display, which aids your situational awareness by giving you a target to follow in the climb.
4. Throughout your flight, the Garmin frequency database ensures you know you are talking to the right frequency, even showing the name of the air traffic control facility you are tuned into on the PFD.
5. Now, you can complete the climb checklist and prepare to level off for cruise flight.

Cruising in Confidence While In Flight

1. Once in cruise flight, you complete the cruise checklist on the MFD and tune in to your favorite music, via SiriusXM® . You can also monitor weather conditions, including animated NEXRAD weather, lightning strikes, freezing levels, winds aloft and destination METARs and TAFs, along your route through SiriusXM.
2. Through cruise you can monitor the aircraft, with up-to-date critical engine information available on the engine indication strip on the MFD. Additional detail is also available on the dedicated engine monitoring page of the MFD.
3. You can also be confident that the avionics are constantly monitoring the aircraft and will notify you if anything requires your attention. For example, if the outside air temp drops below 5°C, a notification appears on the PFD until the pitot heat is switched on. Similarly, an alert will appear if the fuel tanks exceed the recommended fuel imbalance, reminding the pilot to switch tanks.

As You Make Your Approach

1. As you approach your destination, you can find the destination airport frequency info and tune into the local weather, via ATIS or AWOS, which are digitally selectable and can be loaded into the appropriate communication frequency with the press of a couple buttons without having to spin dials or type numbers.
2. At this point you know to expect a visual or instrument approach, which you can load into the avionics and, once activated, the autopilot will navigate the approach (and the missed approach, if necessary).

Once Your Reach Your Destination

1. After landing make sure to zoom in on the MFD and use geo-referenced SafeTaxi charts to know exactly where you are on the airport. This helps you navigate a new airport and find your preferred FBO with ease.

If you’re looking for more of a demonstration, here’s a full pre-flight briefing and demo IFR flight from the Cirrus Aircraft Vision Center in Knoxville, Tennessee (TYS) to the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) in Atlanta, GA.

And if you’re ready to take the next step with a demo flight to experience the most intelligent, most connected and most capable aircraft in its class, find your nearest Sales Director here.

Owners and operators of SR Series aircraft equipped with Cirrus IQ can now remotely access important pre-flight status information, including fuel and oxygen levels, battery voltage, oil temperature, aircraft location and flight hours at the touch of a button through the Cirrus Aircraft App.

Joining an array of industry-leading safety features, additional upgrades to the Cirrus Perspective+^TM by Garmin® flight deck further augment safety. These upgrades include a new stabilized approach advisory system which provides visual and aural alerts to the pilot of unstable conditions during an approach.

With these upgrades, the 2020 G6 SR Series offers the most comprehensive, integrated and intelligent flight experience available today, enabling a smarter aircraft, a smarter pilot and smarter flying.

A Bold New Look.

Echoing the bold step forward in connectivity, the 2020 G6 SR Series brings a palette of re-imagined premium colorways to suit the style of every pilot. Starting with the exterior, aggressive accent lines race alongside an epic line-up of colors inspired by supercars, including Aurora Purple, Highlands Green, Bimini Blue and Volt. The interior receives added detail with widened front accessory pockets for the latest mobile devices, along with high-contrast and color-matched stitching on the luxury automobile-inspired seats.

Joining the new aesthetics is an all-new 4-blade clean sheet SR22T propeller from Hartzell. Utilizing the most technologically-advanced carbon fiber construction and finished with a nickel leading edge protectant, this new upgrade option adds an unmistakable ramp presence for the 2020 G6 SR22T.

The G6 SR Series

Cirrus Aircraft’s first high-performance SR Series airplane – the SR20 – was delivered in 1999 and transformed general aviation with intuitive avionics, game-changing performance and revolutionary safety systems, including the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System® (CAPS®). Today’s SR Series portfolio includes the SR20, SR22 and the turbocharged SR22T.
