Cirrus has officially introduced the Perspective Core™ Flight Deck, built on Garmin AXIS™ avionics, as the heart of its newly launched TRAC10 training aircraft—bringing a new era of modern flight training with advanced technology, enhanced safety, and greater efficiency.
Designed specifically for the next generation of pilots, the Perspective Core flight deck features dual 11.6-inch high-resolution touchscreen displays that can be configured as either a Primary Flight Display (PFD) or Multi-Function Display (MFD). The system provides fast, intuitive access to critical flight information while significantly improving situational awareness for both instructors and student pilots.
Among its standout capabilities are 3D SafeTaxi™, Enhanced Synthetic Vision, Runway Occupancy Awareness, advanced Engine Indication System (EIS), Pathway guidance, weather and traffic integration, helping student pilots learn using technology similar to what they will encounter in commercial airline cockpits.
One of the TRAC10’s most innovative features is its industry-first three-seat configuration, allowing two student pilots to train simultaneously. An optional third display at the rear observer station enables instructors and observers to follow every aspect of the flight, increasing training efficiency while maximizing every lesson.
Safety remains a core focus of the aircraft. In addition to the renowned Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS®), the TRAC10 includes Electronic Stability Protection (ESP), the Blue Level Button (LVL) for emergency recovery, and a dedicated emergency procedures button integrated directly into the touchscreen flight deck. Optional SurfaceWatch™ technology further enhances runway safety by helping prevent incorrect runway or taxiway operations.
Powering the aircraft is the 160-horsepower turbocharged Rotax 916 iSc engine equipped with advanced FADEC controls and single-lever power management, reducing pilot workload while delivering impressive fuel efficiency of approximately 5.9 gallons per hour at 65% cruise power. The engine supports multiple fuel types, helping reduce operating costs for flight schools.
Fleet operators will also benefit from Cirrus IQ™, which wirelessly transmits aircraft data for maintenance tracking, automatic database updates, fuel monitoring, and integration with fleet management and flight debriefing systems.
The TRAC10 will be manufactured at Cirrus headquarters in Duluth, Minnesota, with U.S. deliveries beginning in 2027 and international deliveries following in 2028. Cirrus has already secured more than 100 aircraft orders from 13 professional flight schools worldwide, highlighting strong industry demand. The aircraft starts at $499,900.
With its airline-style avionics, advanced safety systems, innovative cockpit design, and efficient operating costs, the TRAC10 is positioned to redefine how future pilots are trained.
