Another Cirrus 'chute deployment

"Spins
The SR22 is not approved for spins, and has not been tested or
certified
for spin recovery characteristics. The only approved and demonstrated
method
of spin recovery is activation of the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System
(See
CAPS Deployment, this section). Because of this, if the aircraft "departs
controlled flight," the CAPS must be deployed."

OK, well, from the JAA certification testing:

Results. The aircraft recovered within one turn in all cases examined.
Recovery controls were to reduce power, neutralize ailerons, apply
full rudder opposite to spin, and to apply immediate full forward
(nose down) pitch control. Altitude loss from spin entry to recovery
ranged from 1,200 to 1,800 feet. Detail results can be found in the
above referenced reports.

The "above referenced report" is a largish pdf file you can download
from, among other places, the COPA website.

C,

Who says I am anti-Cirrus?

ROFL.

The Cirrus manual says the airplane cannot
recover from a spin except by deploying CAPS.


Again: It does in NO WAY say that.

Javier,

B) It's being spun again for certification overseas.


Where? In Europe, it is now certified with the chute.

C,

Sounds an awful lot like "won't recover from a spin and has never
demonstrated recovery from a spin" to me.


Well, that's a world apart from your earlier categorical statement.
Elegant retreat, though.
