CAPS. It’s There When You Need It.

“Arguably, the most significant technological innovation in general aviation in over half a century, the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS®) embodies the most fundamental aspect of The Cirrus Life: Safety. But CAPS® is only one part of the integrated safety engineering that makes a Cirrus so remarkable. The integrated fuselage roll cage, airbag seatbelts, cuffed wing and a host of additional passive and active safety features that reduce pilot workload, all contribute to making Cirrus the safest airplane possible.”

“Every pilot likes to think they are prepared for everything. And having CAPS® dramatically expands the definition of what ‘everything’ describes. It’s there when you need it. And that added level of safety is a key part of The Cirrus Life.”
