<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\u201cWith Safe Return, we are making personal aviation more\naccessible, elevating the passenger experience and taking the next step towards\nautonomous flight,\u201d said Zean Nielsen, Chief Executive Officer at Cirrus\nAircraft. \u201cThe Vision Jet sets a new standard in personal travel with the\ncombination of Safe Return and CAPS, offering the ultimate level of safety,\ncontrol and comfort for the pilot and passengers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Safe Return activation button is purposefully located on\nthe ceiling in the Vision Jet’s cabin for easy access by passengers and can be\nactivated, if needed, within minutes of the aircraft\u2019s take-off. Once activated\nby the touch of a button, Safe Return assumes control of the aircraft and\ntransforms the Vision Jet into an autonomous vehicle that navigates to the\nnearest suitable airport for landing, communicates with air traffic control,\nlands and brings the aircraft safely to a complete stop, allowing passengers to\nexit the aircraft. This revolutionary system is powered by the Cirrus\nPerspective+ by Garmin\u00ae flight deck, which uses all available aircraft data to\ncalculate a flight plan, avoid terrain and weather, initiate an approach and\ncomplete a fully autonomous landing without pilot or passenger intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, the flight deck provides visual and aural\nupdates to the passengers, including current location, remaining fuel, airport\nof arrival and estimated time of arrival. Safe Return can be easily disengaged\nby the pilot with a simple press of the Autopilot disconnect button on the yoke\nif a passenger inadvertently activates the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGarmin and Cirrus share a passion for designing and\nengineering products without compromise. Together, we have delivered some of\nthe finest safety-enhancing technologies to our customers over the years, and\nwe are proud to now add the certification of Garmin Autoland in the Cirrus\nVision Jet to that growing list of accomplishments,\u201d said Phil Straub, Garmin\nExecutive Vice President and Managing Director of Aviation. \u201cCongratulations to\nour collective teams who contributed to the certification of Autoland on the\nVision Jet, a technology that will undoubtedly have lasting impacts on the\nsafety of our aviation industry and the lives of our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2016, Cirrus Aircraft ushered in a new era in personal transportation with the FAA certification of the world\u2019s first single-engine Personal Jet \u2013 the Vision Jet. The turbine aircraft defined a new category in aviation with its spacious pilot and passenger-friendly cabin featuring panoramic windows, reclining seats, comfortable legroom for five adults and two children, and as the only turbine aircraft with a whole airframe parachute system as standard equipment. Then, in 2019, Cirrus Aircraft unveiled and began delivery of the G2 Vision Jet, offering enhanced performance, comfort and safety with increased cruise altitude, speed and range, and a newly-upgraded Perspective Touch+\u2122 by Garmin\u00ae flight deck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
