avionics

Cirrus offers the most innovative and advanced avionics to make flying easier and more intuitive than ever before.

Flight Director
Flight Director simplifies both instrument and visual flight by helping the pilot intuitively maneuver the airplane. The display consists of a flying wedge, indicating the aircraft attitude, and a set of command bars, indicating the recommended attitude to maintain the selected course. When hand-flying the aircraft, simply keep the displayed flying wedge snugly nestled into the inverted "V" or notch where the two command bars join.

EMax™
EMax Engine Monitoring displays pertinent engine information including CHT, EGT, fuel flow, and. percent power, simplifying engine management. To further simplify fuel management, a fuel totalizer computes MPG and fuel remaining based on fuel flow. It also computes the remaining fuel at each waypoint in your flight plan, including your destination. A lean-assist function is included in the system that will guide you through fuel mixture adjustments for both rich-of-peak and lean-of-peak operations. The system has built-in cautionary advisories to alert the pilot when settings are too rich or too lean.

SKYWATCH™
This transponder-based traffic awareness and warning system alerts you with both visual and audible warnings of aircraft in your area. It works anywhere in the world and is independent of ground-based radar sites.

 

CMax™
CMax Electronic Approach Plates make your MFD more robust and simplify single pilot IFR operations. Since charts are not required, this translates to an easier paperless cockpit for you.

 

TAWS-B
Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System by Honeywell (TAWS-B) significantly reduces the risk of Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT). Forward-seeing technology alerts you with audible and visual warnings to hazards both ahead of and below the airplane.

XM Weather + Radio*
XM Weather is a satellite datalink that provides critical weather information: NEXRAD radar, METARs, TAFs, AIRMETs, SIGMETS, TFRs, winds aloft, freezing levels, and lightning. XM Satellite Radio provides entertainment via coast-to-coast satellite radio with 200+ stations.

*Available only in the U.S.

Stormscope®
Stormscope provides real-time lightning detection, including both ground strikes and cloud-to-cloud strikes. Before the onset of precipitation, Stormscope detects every type of lightning in real-time. Even before datalink weather begins to plot its findings, Stormscope is tracking the intensity and movement of the storm.
