New Cirrus SRV to Feature Glass Cockpit--How Do You Beat
That?
Cirrus Design has JUST
announced the launching of a new airplane model, the SRV. The
new plane will debut at EAA's AirVenture on July 29, 2003.
The SRV has similar styling, design and avionics to the
company's SR20 model, with one clear exception. The SRV is
certified for VFR flight only, keeping the cost down to a base
price of $189,900. Standard in this, and
all Cirrus aircraft is the company's Primary
Flight Display (PFD), as well as Multi Function
Displays (MFD), a standard feature not available
in any other personal aircraft in this
class.
"Many pilots aren't certified, or simply don't have the need or
desire to fly IFR," said Cirrus Design CEO Alan Klapmeier. "With
the SRV, these pilots can still fly the most technologically
advanced aircraft in its class without the need for the redundant
avionics that IFR flight requires. And for only $999 per month, VFR
pilots can benefit from the renown safety, comfort and innovation
found in every Cirrus."
The SRV base model can be enhanced with a three optional upgrade
packages - Touring Package, LX (leather) Interior Package and the
Cross Country Package with autopilot. Additionally, a wide
range of stand alone options are also available including but not
limited to EX5000C, VFR/PFD B Version (that supports the 55SR
autopilot), GNS 430 GPS/Nav/Comm, nose wheel fairing, dual
alternator, leather interior, 3 blade propeller, and more.
Klapmeier anticipates that the first SRV will be delivered in
October after revealing the aircraft for the first time at Oshkosh
in late July.
