General aviation has never had the option of situational awareness
like this. Now standard on every Cirrus Perspective-equipped
aircraft, three-dimensional Synthetic Vision gives you accurate
virtual depictions of terrain features, airports, obstacles, and traffic
– on large 12” screens and just as you would see outside your
airplane in clear conditions.
This single feature alone will allow you to fly more precisely, more
confidently and more safely. That’s Plane Genius.

AOPA NEEDS YOU
YOU NEED AOPA
Whatever you fly, you need to join AOPA
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association was founded in 1934 and has a worldwide membership of 400,000.
Its purpose is to prevent unnecessary restrictions on general aviation and to control its costs, to represent its members’
interests, to enhance safety, and to promote the general aviation industry.
AOPA provides practical legal help for members and works to resolve licensing, engineering and medical issues and a host of
aviation-related disputes. Over the years AOPA has helped hundreds of pilots whose licences and livelihoods were at risk.
It stands up for general aviation at EASA, the EC and Eurocontrol, the CAA, the DfT, and in public forums.
It is the only major aviation body that is independent of any regulator.
Our strength is in numbers – so find out more today about how you can help to protect your right to fly.
Call AOPA on 020 7834 5631, or join up on our website www.aopa.co.uk.
Membership of AOPA
will help us keep working to:
● Protect your right to fly
● Combat increases in your costs
● Fight unnecessary regulation and restriction

Membership provides other
valuable features:

● General Aviation, our high-quality magazine
● Optional international Aircrew Card
● Technical and medical advice

Unless you’re a
balloonist, hot air is
not enough to keep
you flying.
And if you are a
balloonist, you need to
join AOPA anyway
It’s time to stop thinking about it and join AOPA today!
If you’re already a member, tell your flying friends about AOPA. Signing up new members benefits you, too.
