Cirrus... is it time for certification review?
Morgans wrote: "Peter Duniho" wrote A quick NTSB database search shows in the last six months 4 accidents (2 fatal) involving a Cirrus SR20, and 52 (5 fatal) involving a Cessna 172. The SR22 was involved in 7 accidents (2 fatal), while the Cessna 182 was involved in 36 (6 fatal). Clue - Look at fleet size, then adjust for that, and come back with some more meaningful statistics. How many bazillion C172's are there out there, vs. Cirrus? One thing these figures seem to say is that 50% of SR20 accidents are fatal, but only 10% of 172 accidents are. It is only a bit better if you compare both Cirrus and Cessna types. The parachute should make Cirrus accidents more survivable, not less. John Halpenny
