Default Nuther SR-22 crash/incident?

What did you find tricky about it?

Airspeed control is the tricky element. It should be flown 80 kts all the
way down final. If much faster than 80 kts it can bounce tremendously with
serious porpoising afterward (believe me, I know from experience). At much
less than the 80 kts it is subject to stalling out too soon. Both the high
wing Cessnas (152, 172, 182) and my C310 where much forgiving. They allowed
a wider range of airspeed on final approach with the ability to still have
a reasonable landing.


The Cirrus rep. had me to use 80 KIAS on final, but I don't recall paying
very close attention to holding it exactly. He told me not to try to
full-stall the land it like a 172, but rather to fly it on nose-high with a
little power. That worked fine for me: I didn't have any excessive float or
bounce.

Dan, that is how I was taught as well. But, I have learned that the 80
KIAS is critical because much above that speed has caused me to bounce,
and much below that speed it really wants to stall. I have some of my
very best landings in the SR22 (real greasers that I have not had in
other planes), but I have also had a few of my worst landings in that
SR22. I am still not comfortable with the landings in that plane (after
about 40 hours), but that may be because I am not a very good pilot.
