SECTION 3: EMERGENCY PROCEDURES IN-FLIGHT CAS PROCEDURES CAPS Activation CIRRUS WARNING The recommended CAPS activation speed is one that is less than 135 KIAS and 145 KTAS, whichever is lower, which will result in immediate parachute deployment. It is important for the operator to make all reasonable efforts to slow to the minimum possible airspeed prior to CAPS activation. This is necessary to minimize loads on the airframe and aircraft occupants and increase the chances of a successful outcome. If CAPS is activated at higher speeds, the system is designed to delay deployment of the parachute until the autopilot (triggered by handle pull) slows the airplane to the parachute deployment envelope. Do not attempt to overpower or disconnect the autopilot. The time required for the autopilot to slow the airplane from 250 KIAS (level flight) to the parachute deployment envelope has been demonstrated to be 15-24 seconds. Flying at a slower airspeed when CAPS is activated will reduce this time. In any event, the system will automatically deploy the parachute approximately 30 seconds after CAPS activation regardless of airspeed. CAPS deployment will likely result in damage or loss to the airframe and possible injury to the aircraft occupants. Seat belts must be worn at all times. Jerking or rapidly pulling the CAPS activation handle will greatly increase the pull forces required to activate the rocket. Use a firm and steady pulling motion a chin-up type pull ensures successful activation. (Continued on next page) 3-40 TAFM 17-09R1

BAT/GEN Switches (below 15,000 ft)... OFF 7. Loose Items... SECURE 8. Seat Belts...TIGHTEN 9. Assume emergency landing body position. After airplane comes to a complete stop: 10. Evacuate quickly and move upwind, well clear of the aircraft and parachute. NOTE In the event the cabin remains pressurized at touchdown, the egress hatch may not be removable. In the event the landing gear is not extended prior to touchdown, the lower half of the clamshell cabin door will not completely open with the belly of the aircraft resting on the ground.

SECTION 3: EMERGENCY PROCEDURES IN-FLIGHT CAS PROCEDURES Emergency Ground Egress CIRRUS 1. Engine Knob...OFF 2. Engine Button...PRESS (MOMENTARY) 3. BAT 1 and BAT 2 Switches...OFF 4. Egress aircraft through exits. AFCS Alerts WARNING While exiting the airplane, make sure evacuation path is clear of aircraft and other hazards. NOTE In instances when the engine cannot be shut off, and has to be left running, set the parking brake prior to evacuating the airplane.
