Cirrus widens digital tools with IQ PRO integration and features
The upgraded Cirrus IQ app has brought new insight tools to owners including real-time aircraft sync, data exports and inspection tracking.
Owners can now view aircraft health, maintenance items and fluid levels remotely through the updated Cirrus IQ interface.

Cirrus Aircraft has upgraded its Cirrus IQ app for iOS with a redesigned interface and new premium features under the Cirrus IQ PRO subscription. Owners of connected SR Series and Vision Jet aircraft can now monitor fuel, fluids, battery health and flight hours via iPhone or the new My Hangar web platform.

IQ PRO users gain access to live status updates, maintenance tracking, inspection logs, flight summaries with passenger data and exportable reports. Beta-stage features include a ‘landing approach score’ aimed at enhancing pilot safety and performance.

“As part of the Cirrus initiative to distill the complexities of aircraft ownership and management, the introduction of Cirrus IQ PRO empowers aircraft owners with a comprehensive solution that integrates aircraft status, flight summaries, approach score, maintenance tracking and more, all in one place,” says Zean Nielsen, CEO of Cirrus. “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.”

Owners can access the updated app now, with a free trial of Cirrus IQ PRO available until 31 December 2025. Subscriptions begin in January 2026.
