Howdy!
In article , C J Campbell wrote: [snip] Who says I am anti-Cirrus? The Cirrus manual says the airplane cannot recover from a spin except by deploying CAPS. Is Cirrus anti-Cirrus? The following was quoted elsewhere in the thread: (Cirrus Airplane Parachute System - CAPS) The minimum demonstrated altitude loss for a CAPS deployment from a one-turn spin is 920 feet. Activation at higher altitudes provides enhanced safety margins for parachute recoveries. Do not waste time and altitude trying to recover from a spiral/spin before activating CAPS. This does not say "don't even thing of trying". It notes the need for prompt action at lower altitudes. If one is two miles up, one can take a moment to try to recover and still have room to deploy. Pray cite exactly where, in the Cirrus manual, it says that a spin is irrecoverable without using CAPS? Until you can back up your peculiar claim, you are trying to blow smoke up our posterior orifices, and that dog don't hunt. yours, Michael -- Michael and MJ Houghton | Herveus d'Ormonde and Megan O'Donnelly | White Wolf and the Phoenix Bowie, MD, USA | Tablet and Inkle bands, and other stuff | http://www.radix.net/~herveus/ |
