Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet G2 Pilot's Operating Handbook

Jet. The parachute is part of a complete Cirrus safety envelope that integrates all of the Cirrus safety innovations. 14 15 Perspective Touch+ brings higher resolution and faster processing speeds to the already expansive widescreen 14-inch flight displays. Featuring split screen technology, the displays provide room for three separate vertical panes and the Engine Indication System (EIS) strip to be displayed simultaneously. The dedicated Multi-function Display allows the pilot to easily monitor integrated aircraft system synoptics: Engine & Fuel, Electrical Power, Environmental, Ice Protection, Landing Gear and General Status/Information. The added flexibility of Perspective Touch+ allows you to view various system synoptics – checklists, weather radar, moving map, traffic and more – all at once. And Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT™ ) provides a “virtual reality” perspective of ground and water features, as well as obstacles and other traffic, giving you a realistic visual depiction of your surroundings.

T O U C H S C R E E N S M F D A P A T 16 17 Revolutionizing the cockpit, again. Each landscape touchscreen controller is positioned to simplify interaction between the pilot and the aircraft through the intuitive layout and reduction of clutter. Responsive, icon-identified “touchkeys” make functions easy to locate, while shallow menus allow quick inputs without getting lost in the software. The addition of a third touchscreen controller enables a dedicated point of contact to control the audio/ intercom system without interrupting the progression of another task. If you prefer a more manual approach, the dual knobs can be used in lieu of the touchscreen to enter frequencies or toggle among functions. It’s touch, with a twist. T O U C H S C R E E N C O N T R O L L E R S 18 19 Supreme accuracy. Building on smart servo technology, the fully digital, dual-channel Automated Flight Control System (AFCS) delivers precise lateral and vertical navigation guidance for each phase of flight. Commanding the architecture of each flight component with an ergonomic and thoughtfully placed mode controller, the autopilot also incorporates the industry-first Blue Level Button, a Cirrus Aircraft standard since 2008. This active safety feature gives the pilot a “time out” if momentarily distracted or disoriented. This is flight deck automation you can appreciate, especially at the flight levels. D I G I T A L A U T O P I L O T 20 21 A D A P T A B I L I T Y I N T E L L I G E N T A U T O M A T I O N Perspective Touch+ brings added sophistication to your Vision Jet with Autothrottle – a uniquely intuitive feature that allows you to program your entire flight profile before departure, including climbs and descents. Autothrottle controls your airspeed with the push of a single button so you can navigate a busy terminal environment during your approach. Similar to adaptive cruise control found in your car, you can easily disengage or adjust Autothrottle at any time based on flight changes. And the added benefits of Surface Watch will help you anticipate unknown obstacles, like terrain and taxiing aircraft, during your final approach. The intelligent automation in the Vision Jet will increase your situational awareness and open up a whole new flight of possibilities. 22 23 A U T O N O M O U S S A F E R E T U R N ™ Once activated, Safe Return assumes full control of the aircraft and transforms the Vision Jet into an autonomous vehicle that locates the nearest suitable airport for landing, navigates around terrain and inclement weather, communicates with air traffic control, lands and brings the aircraft safely to a complete stop. When combined with the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System® (CAPS® ), Safe Return provides the only total safety solution for personal aviation owners and operators who demand a complete suite of safety features. 24 25 D E T E C T A B I L I T Y S I T U A T I O N A L A W A R E N E S S Tactical advantage. Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT) seamlessly blends aircraft position with 3D topographic images, while the Class B Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) provides caution and warning alerts both visually and audibly. In addition to these capabilities, the “forward-looking” terrain avoidance system warns the pilot of numerous hazards including premature and excessive rates of descent, negative climb rate or altitude loss after takeoff. 26 27 D E P E N D A B I L I T Y R E A L- T I M E W E A T H E R Informed decisions. The real-time Weather Radar scans both vertically and horizontally to give the pilot an immediate and precise weather avoidance tool. Advanced solid-state transmitter technology makes it easy for the pilot to identify storm tops and gradients; while altitude compensated tilt (ACT) automatically adjusts the beam angle as altitude changes, helping to reduce pilot workload. Plus, Weather Attenuated Color Highlight (WATCH™ ) predictive software can identify areas beyond the radar’s range that may contain even more hazardous areas of precipitation. Additionally, by cross-referencing with global data-link weather on the moving map, the pilot benefits from a composite view of evolving weather conditions both near and far. 28 29 T R A F F I C A V O I D A N C E Eye in the sky. A high performance traffic system — designed for jet speeds — scans distances of 80nm and detects up to 75 targets within 10,000-foot vertical separation. The added course trend vectors help identify and track specific aircraft flight trajectories with much greater precision, while safety measures such as ATC-like aural alerts (“Traffic, Three o’clock, Same Altitude, Two Miles”) allow the pilot to keep heads- up scanning for traffic in congested areas.

The sunlight-readable high-resolution color displays use a grid of infrared beams to determine the location of your touch, for faster and more responsive data entry — even in turbulence. Additionally, each touchscreen placement gives the pilot an unobstructed view to access aircraft systems, radios and flight planning without straining. Pan and zoom. A pop-up touchpad page on the touchscreen controller gives pilots control of the map pointer on the moving map, allowing for faster and easier identification of airspace and airport information. Navigate and control the moving map with simple finger gestures. Fingertip Control. The icon-based user interface on the touchscreen controllers presents pilots with the same understanding they have with their smartphones and tablet devices by including the optional QWERTY keyboard layout. The full keyboard makes data entry more efficient thus eliminating the “hunt” for the right key during a critical phase of flight.
