The Turbo Designed with Your Safety in Mind
Our turbo delivers the speed you need without compromising on safety.
No Carbon Monoxide – Air runs across the heater shroud at a higher pressure than the air in the exhaust. In the event of a crack in the heater shroud, the high-pressure air will go from the shroud into the exhaust rather than the exhaust going into the cockpit.
Automatic Alternate Air – If the air intake becomes clogged with debris or ice, the induction system’s door will open automatically. The system will also illuminate an annunciator in the cockpit to alert you that the engine is using the alternate air source.
Safety with Altitude. The aircraft can glide 39.5 nm from 25,000 ft to sea level in a no-wind condition, giving the pilot more opportunity to find a suitable landing spot in case of an emergency situation.
Pilot Workload Reduced. Since our turbo-normalized technology is easier to operate than traditional turbocharged aircraft, safety is enhanced.
Composite Prop – Stronger, Lighter, Safer
Cirrus is the first to offer the second-generation ASC-II Composite Prop from Hartzell. This revolutionary propeller comes from over 30 years of experience in the design and manufacture of composite propellers.
- Stronger and more durable – carbon and KEVLAR®, not aluminum
- Lighter – weighs up to 14 lbs less than other propellers
- Smooth operation – lower inertia means less vibration than aluminum blades
- Lower life cycle cost – replace only the metal leading edge when it erodes, not the whole blade
- Intensively tested – up to 4-lb bird strike, lightning and overspeed tested

Cirrus Design Fixed Oxygen System
Engineered by Precise Flight, Inc., the system provides the pilot and up to three passengers a convenient and high capacity 77 cu. ft. oxygen system. The system includes a simple and easy-to-use electronic display of oxygen quantity, and a toggle switch for activating the flow of oxygen in the cabin. This unique system also provides warning to the pilot of any oxygen or electrical faults. To increase safety, the system provides warning to the pilot when oxygen should be used in the aircraft by illuminating the “O2 REQ’D” LED.
Since the built-in oxygen tank is stored in the aft tail, it doesn’t take up any precious room in the baggage compartment. All you will find there is a convenient fill port with a pressure gauge for easy re-filling.
