it's generally unfamiliarity with the plane aggravated by
low-time/inexperienced pilots that's been the root of most of these
accidents. With such little drag the plane shoud glide quite well
although at a higher speed than other GA singles.

Yeh, like there is the other guy keep preaching his 182 experience for
a Cirrus. Some reports says a pilot get his master training
completely in a Cirrus will have lower risk than a pilot move up to a
Cirrus. I truely believe that.
