That is exactly what Dan said...excess pilot confidence which leads
to poor judgment which leads to a dead pilot.


I've understood Dan's post as Cirrus specific, something to the lines
that the SR22 is difficult to fly and requires more training. Flying
into icing conditions at night is nothing Cirrus specific. But I may
be wrong.


Overconfidence in the airplane's capabilities could've been part of the
go-decision, and that overconfidence could be, in a way, cirrus
specific. I think that was Dan's point.

Friedrich
