Cirrus' manuals treat spins and steep spirals the same. In this case, the
airplane entered a steep spiral.

No, but it would have been a steep spiral, which Cirrus seems to think is

Remind me to never purchase a plane whose manufacturer doesn't appear
to know the difference between a steep spiral and a spin.
