Speaking of which, just read on the NTSB website that there
was yet another Cirrus that burned up from the brakes during
an extended taxi. There have been many of these. One of
these was in my flying club.

Nah, nothing wrong with the brakes! It is all pilot error, according to
Cirrus.

It was interesting to note that they are offering a retrofit of a larger
brake package. They also said it will not even be an option on new planes.
With thinking like that, how long will it be until they start to go the way
of Cessna, and Piper?

In most industries that are healthy, the customer is always right. Give
them what they want. My prediction is that before '06 is out, it will be an
option. Any takers?
