With G3 you get the whole package – including the innovative glass cockpit that Cirrus introduced to general aviation aircraft to make flying easier, safer, and more enjoyable. In fact, Generation Three offers all of the innovations that have made Cirrus aircraft the standard from which all others are judged.

• Life-saving Cirrus Airframe Parachute System™ (CAPS)
• Airbag seatbelts
• Side yokes for greater convenience, instrument visibility and safety
• Single power lever for ease of flying
• Composite design for strength and weight savings
• "Weeping wing" TKS ice protection system to give you the time you
  need to escape icing conditions
• 26G energy absorbing seats

While many other manufacturers/competitors have followed suit with some of these features, Cirrus is the recognized industry leader in innovative, cutting-edge engineering and design.
 
"I think that 100 years from now, people will look back at our primary flight display — the information display in the cockpit — and say it was the single most important change in the industry – the piece of technology that caused the industry to grow again."

– Cirrus Co-founder Alan Klapmeier
