Meet The Aircraft
At Cirrus SA Flight Training we use a state of the art Cirrus SR20 Aircraft, covering a vast range of Generations. The SR20 is the plane that put Cirrus on the map and transformed an industry. With Cirrus Perspective+ Garmin 1000 Avionics, a QWERTY keyboard, Synthetic Vision Technology, Active Traffic and the now legendary Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) there is not a more technically advanced or safer aircraft for training. The SR20 is the perfect dual-role aircraft: easily manageable for the newer pilot and perfectly suitable for business use being fully IFR equipped with class leading performance.
State of the art avionics (split between Avidyne and Garmin) provide the highest levels of situational awareness, with Synthetic Vision and Terrain Awareness reducing the chance of a CFIT accident (Controlled Flight into Terrain).
Active Traffic enhances the standard ADS-B In Traffic with active interrogation of nearby transponder-equipped aircraft to create a 360° zone of detection and awareness around the aircraft and provides visual and ATC-like audio alerts to potential conflicts.
