Jose,

Nonetheless, I see this as a weakness in the Cirrus, not a strength.

In any case, he had recovered from the unusual attitude. A few moments
reflection would have been prudent; again a weakness of the "pull it
NOW" training that one is reported to receive with the Cirrus.


FWIW, I couldn't agree less. The underlying attitude is that "I'm a hero,
I'm THE RIGHT STUFF, I know better, I can handle everything thrown at me,
and damn the torpedoes". Statistics show that a lot of pilots get into a
lot of trouble with this attitude. I would think that this attitude is
very prevalent among pilots, too.

This was the perfect example for the benefit of the chute.
