Cirrus Deploys Chute Safely

Even the Cirrus will spin -- you just pull the CAPS handle to make it
stop.
:-) Spin certification is an additional expense and the planes are
expensive
enough as it is.

That is what I was getting at. Just because it isn't certified for spins
and Cirrus "says" it hasn't been tested for spins doesn't mean that Cirrus
has spun the hell out of it.

Not seeking spin certification and the recomendations of the manual appear
to me as a means to reduce liability. Consider the possible consequences of
Cirrus saying that it has great spin characteristics but it isn't certified
for spins and they don't recommend conventional recovery techniques.
