Cirrus Aircraft delivered 691 SR Series aircraft – SR20, SR22, SR22T – and a record-breaking 106 Vision Jets in 2025. Following GAMA annual report, the SR Series is the best-selling high performance single-engine piston aircraft for 24 years in a row, and the Vision Jet is the best-selling jet in general aviation for eight years in a row, leading the business jet market. Cirrus delivered a remarkable year with the unveiling of the SR Series G7+ with Safe Return Emergency Autoland while celebrating 11,000 total SR Series deliveries. The new Cirrus Instrument Rating Program and Cirrus Next also contributed to successfully creating a pathway for Cirrus owners to advance their flight training or upgrade their aircraft.

Zean Nielsen, Chief Executive Officer of Cirrus commented: “Cirrus continues to create momentum in Personal Aviation through its leadership in product innovation, ownership offerings and new services. Owning and operating a Cirrus unlocks opportunities and grows economies. These milestones reflect Cirrus’ dedication to continuous innovation in Personal Aviation.”

SR Series & Vision Jet

With the introduction of SR Series G7+ featuring Safe Return Emergency Autoland, the Cirrus SR Series became the world’s first single-engine piston aircraft equipped with an FAA-approved autonomous emergency landing system, where passengers can easily activate the system in an emergency with a push of a button. Safe Return Emergency Autoland then proceeds to autonomously communicate, navigate and land the aircraft at the most suitable airport.

Now all Cirrus aircraft features a total safety solution with the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System, Safe Return Emergency Autoland and Perspective Touch+. The G7+ also added Automatic Database Updates, Runway Occupancy Awareness and Smart Pitot Heat. Cirrus returned the Arrivée Special Edition aesthetics package for the SR Series product line. New exterior colors and premium leather options add to an enhanced, luxurious, in-flight experience.

Cirrus Approach flight training

Cirrus Approach expanded its offerings with a new Cirrus Approach app to support advanced tools for flight training. With the new app, students paired with Cirrus instructors can access comprehensive training material and track progress from Apple iPad devices.

Cirrus also introduced its Instrument Rating Program, designed for those interested in advancing their pilot expertise for all-weather flying. The program combines self-study content with in-person flight training including safety and best practices for operating a Cirrus aircraft.

Cirrus expanded its Vision Jet flight training capability at its location in Scottsdale. The new Vision Jet flight training simulator is used for recurrent Vision Jet training. The simulator replicates the technologically advanced Vision Jet flight deck.

Cirrus owner services

Cirrus introduced its latest Cirrus IQ app update with Cirrus IQ PRO designed to enhance the pilot and aircraft ownership experience by providing real-time data, remote status updates and maintenance tracking to effortlessly manage their aircraft. With the G7+ introduction, Automatic Database Updates were enabled by Cirrus IQ PRO connectivity.

Cirrus has simplified the aircraft upgrade process with Cirrus Next. The new program is supported through Cirrus to ensure a streamlined upgrade pathway to a new aircraft, including a trade-in or transition option for the aircraft you currently own.

Company investment

Cirrus is investing in expanding its Grand Forks manufacturing facility to support developing the world’s best-selling aircraft and opened its McKinney location to support aircraft sales and management, flight training and more.
