Is this yet another Cirrus
blind speculation on
So the aircraft veered to the left of the runway? Wonder if that had
anything to do with improper application of brakes, as the SR22 has a
castering nosewheel and can be a tad darty without a deft touch. Or, a
sticking brake? Maybe just bad Xwind procedure? All of the above?
Seems to me applying power was just fueling the fire (so to speak) as
the higher engine torque and gyro precession of the prop would be
greater, thereby sending the plane into the weeds. Still, glad to read
both guys got out relatively unscathed. More bad press for Cirrus,
though.
