Dan,

I have made five landinngs in an SR-22 and noticed nothing unusual or
difficult about it.


Me neither. In fact, I found it easy to land. Speed control is important
landing any airplane, IMHO. Allowing a wide range of speeds, whether in
a Cessna or a Cirrus, is sloppy airmanship, except when adaption to wind
requires different airspeeds.

FWIW, I have but 450 hours, 70 of which in Bonanzas.


Yah, but you shouldn't count that as they are one of the easiest
planes to land out there. :-)) They are big, fast, slippery, (Until
you put the gear down) and have a light wing loading that's about the
same as a Cherokee.
