"Flying" reports that the accident rate is plummeting and quickly
approaching 182 territory. If the kind of pilots Jay refers to are
predisposed to become Cirrus owners, the accidents certainly must have
really gotten their attention and might create a quicker self correction
than in some other airplane.
Early last year the accident rate got the attention of COPA. They
instituted a safety program which included ground and flight training.
The insurance companies beside raising rates, started requiring
recurrent training from Cirrus certified instructors. The number of
accidents did decrease, but with 3 accidents in the last month any
hope of a quick statistical turn around was destroyed.
