Default Cirrus... is it time for certification review?

From this data, I don't think the Cirrus rate stands out excessively.


Dick Collins did the same analysis for new 182s and Cirrus. Same
result.



It does seem like the parachute, an occasional a celebrity, amd the
inconsistancy of small samples have simply increased the hype factor.


I'm sure that is the case. Then again, if a chute equipped airplane has
the same accident rate as a traditional design, I think one must question
the value of having the chute and its associated cost and weight.


It makes the pax happy. I have one in my ultralight and I've always thought
that the odds of it being the right choice in an emergency are very slim.
Of course, the people saved by them would probably install one again at
twice the cost...
