You continue to say this even though the manual does not. The manual
actually prohibits attempts at normal recovery and requires immediate

Actually, the manual does say that - quite clearly, in fact.

Where's your Cirrus instructor kit - with the SR-20 and 22 IMs?

They state this quite clearly. You should be up to snuff on this if
you give as much 'advice' on the Cirrus product line as you have been
lately.

What I find puzzling is the contradictory statements about what is in the
manual. In another thread, "Cirrus Spin Recovery", the spin recovery
portion of the SR22 manual is directly quoted. There is *no* mention of
normal recovery, and very discouraging language about even trying to
recover normally. C J's statement is thus supported, while others who say
that their manuals include a normal recover procedure are in conflict (I
know what *I'd* do if I wound up spinning a Cirrus, since both manuals
agree on the deployment of the CAPS at some point).
