Section 4 Cirrus Design Normal Procedures SR22 Landing • Caution • Landings should be made with full flaps. Landings with less than full flaps are recommended only if the flaps fail to deploy or to extend the aircraft’s glide distance due to engine malfunction.
Cirrus Design Section 4 SR22 Normal Procedures Balked Landing/Go-Around In a balked landing (go around) climb, disengage autopilot, apply full power, then reduce the flap setting to 50%. If obstacles must be cleared during the go around, climb at 75-80 KIAS with 50% flaps.

Safety Information SR22 Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) The Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) is designed to lower the aircraft and its passengers to the ground in the event of a life- threatening emergency.

Cirrus Design Section 10 SR22 Safety Information Loss of Control Loss of control may result from many situations, such as: a control system failure (disconnected or jammed controls); severe wake turbulence, severe turbulence causing upset, severe airframe icing, or sustained pilot disorientation caused by vertigo or panic; or a spiral/ spin.
Section 10 Cirrus Design Safety Information SR22 General Deployment Information Deployment Speed The maximum speed at which deployment has been demonstrated is 133 KIAS. Deployment at higher speeds could subject the parachute and aircraft to excessive loads that could result in structural failure.
Cirrus Design Section 10 SR22 Safety Information Landing Considerations After a CAPS deployment, the airplane will descend at less than 1700 feet per minute with a lateral speed equal to the velocity of the surface wind. The CAPS landing touchdown is equivalent to ground impact from a height of approximately 13 feet.
Page 480
Section 10 Cirrus Design Safety Information SR22 • If a door is open prior to touchdown in a CAPS landing, the door will most likely break away from the airplane at impact. • If the door is open and the airplane contacts the ground in a rolled condition, an occupant could be thrown forward and strike their head on the exposed door pillar.

Cirrus Design Section 10 SR22 Safety Information Post Impact Fire If there is no fire prior to touchdown and the pilot is able to shut down the engine, fuel, and electrical systems, there is less chance of a post impact fire. If the pilot suspects a fire could result from impact, unlatching a door immediately prior to assuming the emergency landing body position should be considered to assure rapid egress.
Safety Information SR22 Taxiing, Steering, and Braking Practices Cirrus aircraft use a castering nose wheel and rely on aerodynamic forces and differential braking for directional control while taxiing. Proper braking practices are therefore critical to avoid potential damage to the brakes.
Cirrus Design Section 10 SR22 Safety Information • Use only as much power (throttle) as is necessary to achieve forward movement. Keep in mind, any additional power added with the throttle will be absorbed in the brakes to maintain constant speed.
