Cirrus Design yesterday announced it has partnered with Garmin on a “high-end” cockpit upgrade for the SR22-G3 called Cirrus Perspective. Featuring Garmin’s G1000 synthetic-vision technology, GFC700 autopilot and a control panel designed specially for the Cirrus piston-single, the Perspective cockpit will be available to buyers starting on June 3 at a price of $48,000.

Cirrus chairman and CEO Alan Klapmeier said he expects most SR22 buyers to opt for the Garmin cockpit at first, but noted that the standard Avidyne Entegra avionics systems will continue to be offered. “I anticipate near 100-percent uptake for the Cirrus Perspective cockpit early on,” he said, “but economics will dictate that some will choose the Avidyne system” after the initial deliveries of Perspective-equipped airplanes.
