Cirrus SR22 demo flight

to which you responded
educate yourself on the subject.

Because the "silks" aren't the first recovery procedure for "everything".

I asked if you were a Cirrus owner because I wanted to hear some first
person experience.

No. But I have a couple hours in one and the sales rep let me put it
through some pretty serious unusual attitudes. It's a puppy *unless* you
get it in a serious spiral. Then the ASI winds up like the planes I'm used
to in a power on vertical dive. Obviously, I didn't attempt a spin. Lands
very fast and flat too (and is not too hard to injure) which, I understand,
is a significant problem for pilots transitioning from a 172 or similar Vso
plane. The rep had me approach at a good twenty knots over Vso (60 kts
IIRC) right to the numbers and appeared more anxious than when we were doing
stuff like power on falling leaf maneuvers. Apparently he's had some close
calls with pilots used to slower landing planes.

You didn't answer, but you did say:

Your speculation about Cirrus emergency procedures training was
either a joke or slothfully misinformed.

My response was that you might be mistaken, as the actual Pilots
Operating Handbook for the SR-22 says that you should deploy the
parachute to get out of a spin.

Somehow, you interpret this as a backpedal. Not sure how it would be
backpedaling, or where your anger is coming from. Is my personal
decision to not buy an SR-22 yet somehow hurting you?

Dude, is English your second or third language? You disparage the Cirrus
unfairly by claiming that recovery from "everything" requires use of the
parachute. It doesn't. And, I'm not angry. This is Usenet. It's a
discussion forum. Hyperbole is the norm.
