Nuther SR-22 crash/incident?

There is a fairly significant difference between holding -0/+2 kts in a
training glider with spoilers available for glideslope control and
doing it at 40-50 kts, and doing the same in a slippery airplane at 80
kts with no spoilers.

Where did I say I was talking gliders? I know that the cirrus isn't
exactly a beginner's plane. However, I stay with my statement that,
whether you need it or not, a pilot who cannot nail the airspeed (in
whichever plane) isn't ready to solo (this particular plane). Can't do
it in a Cirrus? Fly Cessnae. Want to fly Cirri? Practice.

The realistic standard for such an airplane is -0/+5,

Ok. I think the crucial thing is attitude: Good enough is not good
enough. Always aim for perfect.

The Cirrus DOES NOT require -0/+2 to land well. It doesn't even
require -0/+5 (though this is entirely attainable). What it requires
is that you not put it on the ground until the excess speed has bled
off. If you simply hold it a few inches above the ground in the flare,
continuously increasing back pressure, the speed will bleed off
eventually and a good landing will be made.

Agreed, and I would add this is good technique for every plane. But as,
where I fly, the typical airstrip is around 2000ft or even shorter, this
translates pretty directly in nailed airspeed.
