Both the Cirrus SR Series G7 piston singles and the Vision Jet G2+ have received Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) certification. The SR20 Series G7 was introduced in January and features the same flight deck as the Vision Jet G2+, making the transition from the SR a smoother task for pilots moving up to the jet.
Featuring Garmin Perspective Touch+ integrated avionics, both the SR and Vision Jet share the touchscreen controller pilot interface that was first incorporated in the jet. “This integration ensures a seamless transition for pilots moving between different Cirrus aircraft models,” according to Cirrus Aircraft.
“Pursuing TCCA certification for the newest Cirrus aircraft models, the SR Series G7 and G2+ Vision Jet, underscores our commitment to the Canadian market,” said Cirrus CEO Zean Nielsen. "This certification enables Canadian Cirrus aircraft owners to take delivery of their new Canadian-registered aircraft, further solidifying our presence in the region.”
More than 10,000 SR Series and 600 Vision Jets have been delivered. In addition to avionics and cockpit features shared with the SR Series G7, the Vision Jet G2+ has an autothrottle and Garmin’s Autoland system, which can safely land the airplane during a pilot incapacitation situation. All Cirrus airplanes are also equipped with the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System, which lowers the airplane to the ground during emergencies where a safe landing is not assured.
