Cirrus Aircraft released the latest version of its Apple iOS-based Cirrus IQ digital aircraft management app this week at the Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo. The upgraded app, which sports a cleaner, more streamlined user interface, allows users to pair their connected Cirrus aircraft to check aircraft status such as fuel, fluids, battery health, and flight hours through their iPhone or the My Hangar online portal.

With the Cirrus IQ PRO subscription plan—free trial until Jan. 1, 2026, with pricing to be announced later this year—owners of SR20/22 pistons or SF50 Vision Jets can receive real-time aircraft status updates; manage inspections and maintenance; review flight summaries and pilot approach scores (in beta testing); and export flight data. According to Cirrus, IQ PRO consolidates what other apps do into one integrated solution. 

“Cirrus IQ PRO is a powerful new tool that builds upon the company’s commitment to enhancing the digital user experience and improving pilot safety, performance, and convenience,” said Zean Nielsen, the airframer's CEO.

IQ PRO features include remote aircraft sync and real-time status to check on aircraft health, maintenance, and operations, as well as a flight summary with passenger manifest and flight purpose, the latter of which allows Cirrus owners to categorize flight purpose for business or personal use. 

Also included is data export of flight details for business accounting purposes, in addition to aircraft flight data that can be used in third-party flight debriefing tools; approach score that grades pilots on how stabilized their approaches are; inspection manager to digitally track and manage inspections and life-limited parts; and tech publications such as service bulletins and service advisories.
