Cirrus Aircraft unveiled the third generation of its Vision Jet, which features a range of subtle improvements that, while seemingly straightforward, are likely to ease day-to-day operations significantly for pilots and passengers.
Changes include technical upgrades, such as ATC Datalink, which allows pilots to communicate with air traffic control via text messages that help keep frequencies clear and ease the handling of clearances and other complex communications. This is an airline-style system that can reduce the cockpit workload significantly.
