New Cirrus G7+ Series Launched!

Today, Cirrus announced the new SR Series G7+, featuring Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland, which will deliver cutting-edge technology to the G7+, designed to maximize pilot and passenger safety. Cirrus is the world’s first aircraft manufacturer to incorporate Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland in a piston aircraft. 

With just the touch of a button, Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland takes control of the aircraft, communicates with air traffic control, navigates to the nearest suitable airport and executes a landing to a full stop and engine shut down, all while avoiding obstacles, terrain and weather. Garmin’s Safe Return technology first debuted in the Cirrus Vision Jet, and now the technology has been adapted for the SR series. 

Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland uses a combination of advanced sensors, sophisticated algorithms and automated flight control syustems to enable the aircraft to autonomously land safely without pilot input. With just a single touch of a button, Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland takes control of the aircraft, communicates with air traffic control, navigates to the nearest suitable airport, executes a landing while avoiding terrain and weather, comes to a complete stop and shuts down the engine. 

In addition to Safe Return, the G7+ introduces additional new feature:

– Runway Occupancy Awareness, which monitors nearby traffic and warns pilots of potential runway conflicts.

– Smart Pitot Heat, which deletes the pilot heat switch and performs a self test before every flight and automatically turns on or off in-flight based on outside air temperatures.

– Automatic Database Updates, powered by the newly updated Cirrus IQ PRO app, which will downlad avionics databases even when the aircraft is powered off. 

Mike Goulian Aviation will receive a new G7+ SR series aircraft later this Spring but you can see the G7+ on the weekend of May 17th at the Discover Cirrus event and our very own Mike Goulian Aviation Spring Open House, taking place just down the street from our KBED location at Craft Foods Revolution Hall in nearby Lexington.
