Cirrus Aircraft has received FAA certification for a new version of its single-engine Vision Jet, the Generation 2 (G2), and deliveries of the model will begin this month. New features include a higher maximum operating altitude, autothrottle, lithium-ion main-ship batteries, upgraded avionics, new cabin appointments, and additional paint schemes.

The G2 Vision Jet’s Garmin avionics suite is upgraded to the Perspective+ configuration, with faster processors and higher-resolution displays, Flight Stream 510 wireless gateway, and a Garmin autothrottle system for the Fadec Williams International FJ33-5A turbofan. Its Flight Stream 510 facilitates Garmin Connext flight plan transfers, database updates via the Garmin Pilot app, and text messaging using Garmin Pilot and the Garmin GSR 56 Iridium satcom. The SiriusXM radio system can also now be controlled by a cellphone instead of through the avionics.
