The Vision Jet, as well as the best-selling SR series of high performance piston aircraft from Cirrus, are on display now at the European Business Aviation Convention &amp; Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva, Switzerland <span class=\"aBn\"><span class=\"aQJ\">22-25 May.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_4138031929181039050gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">\u201cThis is an exciting day for Cirrus Aircraft and for our customers throughout Europe,\u201d said Pat\u00c2\u00a0Waddick, President of Innovation &amp; Operations. \u201cThe EASA approval of the Vision Jet Type Certificate\u00c2\u00a0paves the way for a ramp up of aircraft deliveries in Europe and continues to propel Cirrus Aircraft\u00c2\u00a0into new markets across the world. There is no better way to celebrate this achievement than to\u00c2\u00a0have the first Vision Jet delivered to Europe on display at EBACE this week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_4138031929181039050gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">EASA approval comes after Cirrus Aircraft earned the Vision Jet Type Certificate from the United\u00c2\u00a0States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in October of 2016 and its Production Certificate earlier\u00c2\u00a0this month. With more than 600 production positions reserved, deliveries of the world\u2019s first single engine Personal Jet began last December. In addition to the EASA validation, the Vision Jet recently received approval from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) in Australia as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_4138031929181039050gmail-MsoNoSpacing\">This approval also arrives on the heels of EASA\u2019s long-awaited approval in March of single-engine\u00c2\u00a0commercial IFR operations in Europe. Cirrus joins the chorus of general aviation industry voices\u00c2\u00a0praising the passage of the new rules, noting it will open the door to new growth opportunities\u00c2\u00a0across Europe. The new rules make business and personal travel more efficient by allowing single engine\u00c2\u00a0turbine airplanes to fly both at night and under Instrument Meteorological Conditions (SETIMC).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two major milestones in the global launch of the world\u2019s first single-engine Personal Jet were reached today when Cirrus Aircraft announced it had received Vision Jet Type Certificate approval from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and delivered the first aircraft to Europe.
