Cirrus Aircraft is excited to announce that the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has approved Electronic Stability and Protection (ESP™) by Garmin, found optionally in Cirrus aircraft equipped with Cirrus Perspective™ by Garmin. Now, for the first time, ESP will be available to Cirrus aircraft owners in Europe. The FAA approved ESP for use in the US in December of 2010. ESP is a highly innovative new technology that addresses both prevention and recovery. It passively and unobtrusively corrects unusual flight attitudes, assisting without distracting from flying quality or enjoyment of the flight experience. Key components and features of the Perspective ESP system are: • Operates when the Garmin GFC 700 autopilot has been disengaged, when hand flying the aircraft • Activates automatically whenever the airplane exceeds one or more flight parameters • Uses autopilot servos and sensors, yet operates even when the autopilot is turned off • Recognizes and helps correct excessive pitch attitude, roll attitude, or airspeed • Augments pilot vigilance; assists, but does not take control • Can be overridden by the pilot at any time • Increases corrective pressure as exceedances move beyond safe limits • Gently returns the aircraft flight within normal operating envelope • Operates unobtrusively and simulates aircraft’s natural flight stability
