Dude,
I have read many of your posts, and consider you bright and well informed. Why, thanks! ;-) It is only the risk involved in USING the plane that we are discussing here. The risk of OWNING the plane would be more of a financial issue. I don't much about Mr. Colins, but he seems to be stretching on this one. You know, I agree. The problem, as we all know, of course, is that there is no reliable count of hours flown. So anyone can amssage the numbers anyway he or she likes. i still take strong objection to statements like "falling out of the sky". That's BS any way you look at the numbers. There is a case to be made that Cirrus as a company has done a lot to rejuvenate general aviation, and that by hammering them we are only creating an environment where other innovators will just be scared away. Yes, I think that many pilots do tend to do that - while at the same time clamoring for innovation. I think that this forum would be a good place to get the facts straight though. We have better alternatives - Diamond and Lancair. Well, there are hardly any Lancairs flying, so in that case we really don't have any numbers to go by, I would say. And the Diamond has a great record - but hey, it's from Old Europe, so an all-American GA pilot can't well buy that crap now, can he? (yes, that was irony, but a lot of truth in it for some people...) -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
