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).

The original manuals did mention standard recovery for spirals and
incipient spins (spins which are about to start). Apparently too many
people did not understand the word incipient and read this to mean
normal spin recovery was possible. The manuals were updated and all
references to spin recovery other than CAPS were removed.
