I thought they (Cirrus) was released from the spin recovery part of
certification *because* they had a chute.

That's interesting. First I've heard of it. What is the source of
that information?

I presume that spin recovery method is not mentioned in the POH. I
can imagine situations where it might be preferable to 'chute
deployment if it was truly a certifiable spin recovery option.



When we were looking at possibly buying a Cirrus (last year I believe) I
contacted one of their reps about spin recoveries and was told that they
were never tested but could 'possibly' recover normally from a spin :-)
