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
