Cirrus Design’s partnership with Garmin on a “high-end” cockpit upgrade for the SR22-G3 called Cirrus Perspective is turning out to be a hit with buyers, nearly all of whom are jumping at the chance to bring the optional avionics to their new airplanes.

The centerpiece of the Cirrus cockpit is Garmin’s G1000 synthetic-vision technology, coupled with the popular GFC700 autopilot and a control panel that has been designed specially for the Cirrus piston-single. The Perspective cockpit became available to buyers last month, adding an extra $48,000 to the SR22-G3’s purchase price.
