Cirrus spin recovery was tested. Was: Why does airspeed change when I adjust the prop?
BDS wrote: "Jim Logajan" wrote "Question: Has any spin testing been conducted in the CIRRUS airplanes? CIRRUS Engineer: Yes, CIRRUS has done spin testing in both the SR20 and the SR22, and we've done a variety of spins in both models. That's interesting. I wonder who the "test pilot(s)" were that thought that it was "virtually unrecoverable", and why they made that comment. I spoke with the Mooney test pilot who did spin testing in the 201. He said it was not a fun day, and he didn't look forward to it. The manual says that spins beyond one turn may not be recoverable (the test pilot only had the guts to do one turn  ). However, even at that it passedthe FAA's spin test requirements for normal category. Makes you wonder what's up with the Cirrus that that wasn't even desirable. -Robert
