We're they quoting accidents or fatal accidents? That could make a difference.

But it's supposed to be a safer aircraft than what we fly. It was
supposedly designed for safety. Now we think that maybe with
sufficient retraining it won't be especially dangerous.

Do you know why/how AOPA stated in today's Epilot newletter that the Cirrus
is as safe as the 172/182? The recent stats from Aviation Safety (BEFORE
the recent fatal accident this week) showed it clearly had a worse safety
record.

Is AOPA being less than objective here in order to suit some politically
correct agenda?
