Default Another SR22

Larry,

But if the aircraft is below 1,000', the CAPS system is probably not
an option.


IF you are in a fully developed spin (1 full turn, as certification
requires and the handbook says), traditional spin recovery isn't an
option either at 1000 feet.

Why not? Are you implying that 1 full turn spin loses too much altitude,
and if so, based on what? Some planes spin pretty flat, while others are
pretty nose-down, which type is the SR22?
