... Because of the high repetitive failure rate of the Cirrus vacuum system, starting in sometime in 2002 all Cirrus planes were all electric. As far as knowing what happened, we do have the pilot's statement and without out proof to the contrary, I see no reason to doubt it. I thought this particular Cirrus had a vacuum system.. in any event, even the all-electric Cirrus airplanes have a backup AI and the pilot was talking to ATC so he did have electrical power remaining. It would thus seem that an expedited ASR or PAR would have been an option. -------------------- Richard Kaplan, CFII www.flyimc.com
