Cirrus sr22 cockpit5/29/2023 Our expectation, though, is that these will be industry norms in a very short period of time. These tired old expressions will no doubt emerge over the LVL button, Synthetic Vision and Perspective EVS. With innovation you inevitably hear comments like, “If you’re good enough you don’t need this stuff” or, “These modern airplanes are dangerous so the FAA makes them. It is also invaluable en-route to avoid penetrating convective clouds or entering icing conditions at night. The combination blended image is superior to either one can be alone.Īvailable only on Garmin 12-inch screens Perspective EVS is obviously valuable for seeing terrain and runways when approaching an airport. Perspective EVS goes a step further and uses two sensors – a traditional infra-red sensor and a “near infra-red” sensor that can detect runway and other lights. Enhanced Vision Systems use infra-red sensors to see in the dark. Night operations have their own challenges and Cirrus also offers Perspective EVS. If the world doesn’t get better quickly Cirrus still offers CAPS, the parachute. Press the LVL button – doesn’t matter if the autopilot is already on or not – and the plane will roll level and hold altitude. Urban lore suggests a common expression in modern automated airliners is, “What’s it doing now?” In a similar vein, Cirrus led the way to a new autopilot controller that introduces a “LVL” or Level button to help address spatial disorientation.Įveryone gets confused occasionally in the air (those that have and those that will?) and the history of aviation is rife with accidents caused by disorientation. Looking at Garmin technology in new ways like this is what’s different about Perspective. But the Perspective 12-inch screens changes the whole way you look at it – “Bring the Outside In.” Garmin’s innovative Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT) will become a valuable addition to the avionics in many general aviation airplanes. Available for delivery on SR22 GTS models from June, 2008, Perspective uses Garmin technology in new ways and in ways just not possible in off-the-shelf products (G600, G900X, G950, G1000, etc.) Cirrus and Garmin, together, have developed possibly the first integrated cockpit in general aviation. The result is Cirrus Perspective (by Garmin). In recent months Cirrus has challenged Garmin to work with us and develop an integrated avionics suite worthy of Cirrus owners one that comes up to Cirrus standards. Cirrus has always led the way in avionics innovations.
