Duluth, Minn. & Knoxville, Tenn. \u2013 Cirrus Aircraft has announced the\u00a0TRAC Series<\/a>, a purpose-built configuration of the best-selling SR Series line of aircraft developed specifically for flight training institutions. The TRAC Series is thoughtfully crafted with reliability, durability and economy in mind to meet the rigors of high-tempo flight operations, while providing industry-leading safety and performance for both the pilot trainee and flight instructor. Combining the Perspective+TM<\/sup>\u00a0by Garmin\u00ae flight deck along with the unrivaled performance and safety uniquely found in the SR Series, the TRAC Series includes tailored features such as rear seat push-to-talk functionality and a landing gear simulator aimed at increasing training productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur commitment to flight training goes far beyond innovation in aircraft design to include a unique approach to attracting and training future generations of aviators,\u201d said Zean Nielsen, CEO at Cirrus Aircraft. \u201cThe TRAC Series delivers a 21st<\/sup> century solution for world-class, forward-thinking flight training institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed to be the ultimate training platform, the technologically-advanced TRAC Series boasts an impressive list of features and capabilities that complement the aircraft\u2019s stable flight characteristics. The integrated Perspective+ flight deck includes two large flight displays, a Flight Management System (FMS) keypad controller, an Electronic Stability and Protection system, as well as integrated engine indication and crew alerting\/warning systems \u2013 all features found on today\u2019s advanced airliners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPremier flight programs around the world continue to select Cirrus Aircraft for their training fleets,\u201d said David Moser, Vice President of Fleet & Special Mission Aircraft Sales at Cirrus Aircraft. \u201cThese partnerships have been instrumental in our development of the technologically-advanced, cost-effective TRAC platform designed exclusively for leading flight academies and universities across the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cirrus Aircraft has redesigned the interior to meet the unique needs of a high-utilization training environment, replacing the luxury materials found in the SR Series with a durable all-weather floor liner and easy to clean wear-resistant seats. The spacious cabin provides an optimal workspace to learn and train, with more space than typical training aircraft, rear seats for additional students or observers and optional air conditioning for comfort in all seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TRAC SR20 comes equipped with a modern Lycoming IO-390, 215HP power plant, providing reliability and efficiency for up to 2,400 hours before overhaul, and features a durable all-composite airframe structure with the signature Cirrus Airframe Parachute System\u00ae (CAPS\u00ae), making the TRAC Series one of the safest and most versatile training airplanes available today. The TRAC Series is further enhanced by a wide array of interactive, tailored flight training content through Cirrus ApproachTM<\/sup>, including online courses, engaging videos and the award-winning iFOM (interactive Flight Operations Manual) for convenient learning anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the TRAC Series, Cirrus Aircraft is poised to expand an already impressive list of world-class flight training programs around the globe that operate fleets of Cirrus aircraft, including Emirates Airline, Lufthansa Aviation Training, the United States Air Force Academy, Airbus Flight Academy, Western Michigan University, Oklahoma State University, Japan Civil Aviation College, the Royal Saudi Air Force and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
