Cirrus Logic and Garmin Enhance Aviation Safety with Autoland in SR Series G7+

### Cirrus Logic's Groundbreaking Collaboration with Garmin Enhances Aircraft Safety

Cirrus Logic significantly advances aviation safety through its collaboration with Garmin, as the newly certified Autoland system becomes a standard feature in the SR Series G7+ aircraft. This groundbreaking development marks the SR Series G7+ as the first piston-powered aircraft to incorporate Garmin's autonomous emergency landing technology, known as Cirrus Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland. Designed to function in emergencies, such as pilot incapacitation, the Safe Return system autonomously manages the flight and landing of the aircraft, ensuring that human intervention is not necessary. This innovation not only enhances pilot safety but also provides peace of mind to passengers and their families.

The integration of Garmin’s Autoland system into Cirrus's SR Series G7+ affirms the company's commitment to aviation safety. Since its introduction in 2019, Garmin's Autoland has been adopted in over 1,000 aircraft, demonstrating its reliability and effectiveness as an emergency solution. Cirrus has successfully integrated this crucial technology into more than 450 Vision Jets, underscoring its dedication to pushing the boundaries of aircraft safety features. With the inclusion of advanced functionalities such as Runway Occupancy Awareness (ROA) technology and the GDL® 60 datalink system, the SR Series G7+ not only elevates safety but also enhances the overall flying experience through improved cockpit connectivity and operational efficiency.

Garmin's Vice President of Aviation Sales, Carl Wolf, commends Cirrus for its innovative development of the SR Series G7+. He emphasizes the broader impact of making such sophisticated safety technologies accessible to a wider range of aircraft owners. The G7+ now joins an elite category of turbine-powered aircraft equipped with Garmin Autoland, which includes models like Piper's M600 SLS and M700 Fury, as well as Daher’s TBM 940 and 960. This collaborative effort between Garmin and Cirrus Logic highlights a significant step forward in aviation technology, ensuring that safety measures are continually evolving to meet the needs of pilots and passengers alike.

In addition to the Autoland certification, the SR Series G7+ will benefit from enhanced features that further streamline operations and improve pilot situational awareness. By facilitating automatic database updates and offering advanced connectivity options, the G7+ exemplifies the modern evolution of aircraft technology. This partnership between Cirrus Logic and Garmin not only reinforces their leadership in the aviation sector but also sets a new standard for safety and innovation across the industry.
