Cirrus offers new braking system as aftermarket upgrade

By General Aviation News Staff · October 10, 2014 ·

DULUTH, Minn.  — Cirrus Aircraft now offers its Performance Braking System for owners of Generation 3 and newer aircraft from Cirrus Direct.

All 2014 Cirrus SR22T, SR22 and SR20 model aircraft come equipped with the new Performance Braking System. In addition to making this system available for Generation 3 and newer aircraft, Cirrus is continuing to work on a Performance Braking System upgrade for earlier model aircraft in the field.

CirrusGeneration5Offered as an upgrade for Generation 3 and newer SR-series aircraft, the system includes wheels, brakes, master cylinders, tubeless tires and wheel fairings with an easy access door. The Performance Brakes by BERINGER AERO use fluid technology designed to withstand higher temperatures, reducing fluid breakdown, and also feature an easily identifiable red temperature indicator. Tubeless tires, a familiar feature in the automotive world, provide peace of mind by reducing the risk of leaks and failures in the higher-stress aviation environment, Cirrus officials said. The easy access door of the wheel fairings adds convenience to inspection and maintenance tasks, officials add.

The new Performance Braking System upgrade for Generation 3 and newer aircraft has an MSRP starting at $15,300. For a limited time, and as a special introductory offer, Cirrus is offering a $1,500 credit certificate redeemable at Cirrus Authorized Service Centers with the purchase of the Performance Braking System. This introductory offer is valid for orders placed before Dec. 31, 2014, for shipment by March 31, 2015.
