One of the biggest differentiators of the aircraft produced by Cirrus Aircraft is the rescue parachute system for the entire aircraft – CAPS (Cirrus Airframe Parachute System). According to statistics, it is one of the most effective mechanisms for rescuing the crew from distress, regardless of whether the cause of the failure was a technical fault or the danger resulted from an error made by the pilot.

During ESC – CAPS Basic training, dedicated to pilots of older Cirrus SR models with Avidyne avionics, we will focus on an in-depth understanding of the parachute system and practice its activation in various scenarios on the Cirrus SR Series simulator.

CAPS is more than an essential safety system, it is a kind of mindset. With CAPS, you have more options available to you in the event of the extremely rare – worst-case scenarios that happen to even the best pilots.

Training at Aero Poznań will give you a perfect understanding of the CAPS system and the process involved in activating it – dependent on the phase of flight as well as the problem which requires its use.

When using CAPS, the pilot must take into account the time required to open the parachute canopy, the minimum activation altitude, or the maximum loads depending on aircraft speed. By knowing these values and understanding the necessary procedures, the pilot significantly increases his chances of a safe emergency landing.
