My main contention is with your statement that the SR-22 and SR-20
"won't" recover from a spin. That is an incorrect, or inaccurate if
you prefer, statement based on the facts. It's just as bad as saying
"Sure, they'll recover from spins!" If you stop making that
statement, I'll be a happy camper. You can criticize Cirrus for
choosing an alternative method of compliance during certification of
the SR, but frankly no flight instructor I know who works in the
Cirrus (if standardized by Cirrus, they're called 'CSIs') really cares
about the spin/BRS issue at all.

As I don't. My original response was to a question about why the pilot had
not tried some form of spin recovery other than CAPS deployment. My response
was that the Cirrus will not recover from a spin. I will grant that the
response may have been incomplete, but I thought that CAPS recovery was
understood. I also thought that saying that the Cirrus will not spin would
be understood in the context of the aircraft manual. Instead, I get attacked
by a bunch of zealots, including you, who tell me that my statement is BS,
ignorant, and some kind of attack on Cirrus, as if verbal abuse and personal
defamation would make me like Cirrus more.

Quite honestly, I still like Cirrus the plane, but from what I have seen
here, I can't say much for the pilots.
