Sounds like you know very little about what it means to pilot an

Wait and see. Cirrus is doing very well.


Has "zip" to do with the man's point.

Part of checking out in a new aircraft is becoming familiar with *all*
aircraft systems - and you should do that in perfect weather. If you
haven't become familiar with all aircraft systems then you shouldn't be
flying it alone in marginal weather.

And I'm sure every pilot follows that policy religiously. That's why
accidents never occur.


Yes, by far most do. But you couldn't realize this having never flown.

Yes. One of the required skills for instrument flight is recovery from
unusual attitudes. You close your eyes, your instructor tries to get you
disoriented, puts the plane in an unusual attitude - usually either a
steep spiral dive or a steep climb near stall. It's the "get you
disoriented" part that got me sick - my instructor likes to give you a
real roller coaster. The first recovery, I counted four really hard
positive G pulls, a couple of hard negative G pushes,some hard slips and
skids, and the stall horn went off a couple of times. The second
recovery
was about the same.

His technique sounds excessive.


Standard procedure with a good CFI.

Clueless as usual.
