Safety is a CIRRUS core value— not just for those who fly our airplanes, but for the general aviation industry. Balancing the need for speed with a deep concern for safety, CIRRUS makes available its technology to all who ask.

In October 2002, a pilot released his Cirrus SR-22 aircraft’s parachute and landed safely in a Texas Mesquite tree grove. The pilot was uninjured, and there was minimal damage to the plane. The safe landing made aviation history as the first emergency application of an airframe parachute on a certified aircraft.
