Section 3 Cirrus Design
Emergency Procedures SR22
The Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) should be activated in
the event of a life-threatening emergency where CAPS deployment is
determined to be safer than continued flight and landing.
Expected impact in a fully stabilized deployment is equivalent to a drop
from approximately 13 feet.
Several possible scenarios in which the activation of the CAPS would
be appropriate are discussed in Section 10: Safety Information of this
Handbook. These include:
• Mid-air collision
• Structural failure
• Loss of control
• Landing in inhospitable terrain
• Pilot incapacitation
All pilots should carefully review the information on CAPS activation
and deployment in Section 10 before operating the airplane.
