Cirrus Design announced its 2009 aircraft model lineup Monday — a combination of upgrades, new features and option packages for its SR20, SR22 and turbo models.
Cirrus introduced an option for “flight into known icing.” It’s partnered with CAV ice Protection to develop the system for its SR22 and turbo models of aircraft. The system allows operations on marginal weather days when icing forecasts may hinder travel.
It warns, however, that “no one should ever think that this means they can drone along impervious to nature in icing conditions — nature always wins,” said Cirrus chairman Alan Klapmeier in a statement.
Cirrus also introduced other interior and exterior option packages.
