Cirrus Design Section 3 SR22T 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 SR22T • 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. Excessive engine cooling may be experienced during long descents resulting in low engine oil and cylinder head temperatures.
Section 3 Cirrus Design Emergency Procedures SR22T Possible Engine Failure Causes Improper Fuel Management: If the engine failure cause is determined to be improper fuel management, turn off Fuel Pump and resume fight. Engine Driven Fuel Pump Failure: If fuel management is correct, failure of the engine driven fuel pump or a clogged fuel filter is probable.
Cirrus Design Section 3 SR22T Emergency Procedures Above 18,000 Feet The manifold pressure should be maintained at or above 15 in.Hg (bottom of the green arc on the manifold pressure gage) when the aircraft is operating above 18,000 feet.

Cirrus Design Section 9 SR22T Supplements 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.
Section 9 Cirrus Design Supplements SR22T 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.

Cirrus Design Section 9 SR22T Supplements smaller than the openings of the outer surface. 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 SR22T Supplements System Control System operation is controlled by five bolster panel switches and three MFD softkeys: • Bolster Panel Switches: Metering pump operation and mode control (flow rate) are controlled by the NORM, HIGH, and MAX switches.

Section 9 Cirrus Design Supplements SR22T 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.

Section 9 Cirrus Design Supplements SR22T Section 8 – Handling, Service, & Maintenance • Caution • During long periods of non-use, the porous panel membranes may dry out which could cause uneven fluid flow during subsequent operation. Perform the Pre-Flight Inspection every 30 days to keep porous panel membranes wetted.

Cirrus Design Section 9 SR22T Supplements Metering Pump Priming If air entered the system due to the fluid tank(s) running dry during system operation, it may require several cycles of the windshield/ priming pump to prime the metering pumps. In the event that the metering pumps cannot prime themselves, the...

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 499
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 500
Section 10 Cirrus Design Safety Information SR22T 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 SR22T 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 SR22T 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 503
Cirrus Design Section 10 SR22T 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 504
Section 10 Cirrus Design Safety Information SR22T 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.
SR22T 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 SR22T • 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.
