Pilot and passenger safety is the cornerstone of aircraft design at Cirrus. Every Cirrus aircraft ever built comes standard with CAPS, the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System, and now many other ‘Cirrus first’ safety features such as the ‘blue’ level button, airbag seatbelts, enhanced stability and protection and information rich avionics. 

Recognizing the importance of Cirrus Aircraft’s innovative efforts in the area of safety, the Cirrus Aircraft Safety Design Team was recognized with the prestigious Joseph T. Nall Safety Award in late 2013 for pioneering many of these important safety innovations and improvements.  

While receiving the award on behalf of the design team at Cirrus, Co-Founder and CEO Dale Klapmeier noted, “We have the deepest regard for the aviation leaders who have received this award in past years, and Cirrus Aircraft is honored to join them. However, our work is far from done as we continue to challenge ourselves to make flying safer for new and seasoned pilots alike.” 

2014 Generation 5 Aircraft - 2014 models of Generation 5 Cirrus aircraft are improved with striking new features that will be noticed immediately on the ramp. With Cirrus Integrated LED Technology, luxury automobile LED lighting is integrated for the first time into a high performance, single-engine airplane, increasing functional capability while enhancing aesthetic appeal.  Combined with a new palette of exterior paint colors and the redesigned Carbon and Platinum aircraft paint schemes, 2014 Cirrus Aircraft are again set apart for new owners.
