Cirrus Design Section 3 SR22 Emergency Procedures Introduction This section provides procedures for handling emergencies and critical flight situations that may occur while operating the aircraft. Although emergencies caused by airplane, systems, or engine malfunctions are extremely rare, the guidelines described in this section should be considered and applied as necessary should an emergency arise.
CAPS Guidance All Cirrus aircraft are equipped with a pilot or passenger activated ballistic airframe parachute system. The system is capable of lowering the aircraft and occupants safely to the ground for life threatening emergencies.
121.500 MHz. If the display is available, it will also show it in the “Active” frequency window. The Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) should be activated in the event of a spin. It should also be used in other life-threatening emergencies where CAPS deployment is determined to be safer than continued flight and landing.
Section 3 Cirrus Design Emergency Procedures SR22 • Circuit breakers that “CYCLE” should be pulled, delayed for several seconds, and reset only once. Allow sufficient cooling time for circuit breakers that are reset through a “CYCLE” procedure. Memory Items Checklist steps emphasized by underlining such as the example below, should be memorized for accomplishment without reference to the procedure.
If altitude or terrain does not permit a safe landing, CAPS deployment may be required. Refer to Section 10, Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) for CAPS deployment scenarios and landing considerations. P/N 13772-004...

Cirrus Design Section 8 SR22 Handling and Servicing Airplane Records and Certificates The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that certain data, certificates, and licenses be displayed or carried aboard the airplane at all times. Additionally, other documents must be made available upon request.
AD’s are mandatory changes and must be complied with within a time limit set forth in the AD. Operators should periodically check with Cirrus Service Centers or A&P mechanic to verify receipt of the latest issued AD for their airplane.
In lieu of the above requirements, an airplane may be inspected using a Progressive Inspection Program in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulation Part 91.409. The Cirrus Design Progressive Inspection Program provides for the complete inspection of the airplane utilizing a five-phase cyclic inspection program.
Section 8 Cirrus Design Handling and Servicing SR22 Pilot Performed Preventative Maintenance The holder of a Pilot Certificate issued under FAR Part 61 may perform certain preventive maintenance described in FAR Part 43, Appendix A. This maintenance may be performed only on an aircraft that the pilot owns or operates and which is not used in air carrier service.

Section 9 Cirrus Design Supplements SR22 Section 5 - Performance Airplane performance and stall speeds without ice accumulation are essentially unchanged with the installation of the Ice Protection System. Significant climb and cruise performance degradation, range reduction, as well as buffet and stall speed increase can be expected if ice accumulates on the airframe.

Section 9 Cirrus Design Supplements SR22 Section 7 - System Description The TKS Anti-Ice System can prevent and remove ice accumulation on the flight surfaces by distributing a thin film of ice protection fluid on the wing, horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer, elevator tips, and propeller.
Cirrus Design Section 9 SR22 Supplements If the system is ON and PUMP BKUP is selected, #1 pump will operate (if not failed) based on the mode setting (NORM or HIGH) while #2 pump operates continuously (PUMP BKUP), causing the range and endurance to decrease from the published values, e.g.

The leading edge of the panel serves as a reservoir as fluid entering the panel fills the cavity behind the porous membrane then overcomes this resistance to be distributed by the openings in the external surface.

Cirrus Design Section 9 SR22 Supplements Stall Warning System Stall warning is provided by the lift transducer, mounted on the leading edge of the right wing and the stall warning computer located under the cabin floor. The lift transducer senses the force of the airstream on the vane, producing an electrical output to the stall warning computer.

Cirrus strongly recommends that all pilots seek regular recurrent training and that they operate in accordance with the Cirrus Flight Operations Manual and Envelope of Safety. As the pilot you must be thoroughly familiar with the contents of this...
Instead, possible CAPS activation scenarios should be well thought out and mentally practiced by every Cirrus pilot. Pilots who regularly conduct CAPS training and think about using CAPS will often have a higher probability of deploying CAPS when necessary.
Page 517
CAPS activation is strongly recommended. Numerous fatalities that have occurred in Cirrus aircraft accidents likely could have been avoided if pilots had made the timely decision to deploy CAPS.
Page 518
Section 10 Cirrus Design Safety Information SR22 activation by the passengers is highly recommended. This scenario should be discussed with passengers prior to flight and all appropriate passengers should be briefed on CAPS operation so they could effectively deploy CAPS if required.
Cirrus Design Section 10 SR22 Safety Information General Deployment Information Deployment Speed The maximum speed at which deployment has been demonstrated is 140 KIAS. Deployment at higher speeds could subject the parachute and aircraft to excessive loads that could result in structural failure. Once a decision has been made to deploy the CAPS, make all reasonable efforts to slow to the minimum possible airspeed.
Section 10 Cirrus Design Safety Information SR22 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 521
Cirrus Design Section 10 SR22 Safety Information • 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.
Page 522
Section 10 Cirrus Design Safety Information SR22 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.
SR22 Safety Information 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.
Section 10 Cirrus Design Safety Information SR22 • 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.
