Cirrus Perspective is even more impressive than I thought...

I have mentioned Cirrus' introduction of a G1000 before, however, it seems that I overlooked the importance of one detail.



Do you see that little magic blue button in the middle of the panel? It seems that Cirrus has developed a very capable unusual attitude recovery system. According to AOPA:

The LVL button can recover the aircraft from an attitude of 75 degrees of roll and 50 degrees of pitch, even if they occur simultaneously.

It is not all good news, however, as the new G1000 system will take reduce the useful load of the aircraft by 40 pounds. The last upgrade to the Cirrus (the introduction of the G3 line) improved useful load by 50 pounds, so this essentially takes away the G3's weight advantages for the time being.
