This manual describes the operation of the Cirrus SR20 and SR22 Integrated Avionics System
This guide provides pilots with operating instructions for the Garmin Perspective® integrated avionics system installed in Cirrus SR20 and SR22 aircraft. It covers flight instruments, navigation, communication, and safety warnings. The manual is for System Software version 0764.06 or later and includes important cautions about GPS altitude, terrain avoidance, and database updates. It is not a comprehensive operating guide but a reference for key cockpit features.
GPS altitude should never be used for vertical navigation. Always use pressure altitude displayed by the Perspective® PFD or other pressure altimeters in aircraft.
During flight operations, carefully compare indications from the Perspective® system to all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
