SR22 Spin Recovery
or the pilot simply
followed the instructions to use the BSR in the event of a spin. Actually, the instructions are to try conventional recovery techniques and THEN deploy the chute if they don't work. I wonder if that was done. Also, I'd be very interested to know more about the involvement of autopilot operations in this one. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) Quite to the contrary! The direct quote from the SR22 POH is "Do not waste time and altitude trying to recover from a spiral/spin before activating CAPS."; and: "In all cases, if the aircraft enters an unusual attitude from which recovery is not expected before ground impact, immediate deployment of the CAPS is required."; and: "Inadvertent Spin Entry 1. CAPS .............................................. Activate" The complete Spin Chapter from the SR22 POH is quoted below. You should not make unsupported statements that actually could - if followed - endanger the lives of pilots and passengers by not following proper emergency procedures. Gerd ATP "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. While the stall characteristics of the SR22 make accidental entry into a spin extremely unlikely, it is possible. Spin entry can be avoided by using good airmanship: coordinated use of controls in turns, proper airspeed control following the recommendations of this Handbook, and never abusing the flight controls with accelerated inputs when close to the stall (see Stalls, Section 4). If, at the stall, the controls are misapplied and abused accelerated inputs are made to the elevator, rudder and/or ailerons, an abrupt wing drop may be felt and a spiral or spin may be entered. In some cases it may be difficult to determine if the aircraft has entered a spiral or the beginning of a spin. • WARNING • In all cases, if the aircraft enters an unusual attitude from which recovery is not expected before ground impact, immediate deployment of the CAPS is required. The minimum demonstrated altitude loss for a CAPS deployment from a one-turn spin is 920 feet. Activation at higher altitudes provides enhanced safety margins for parachute recoveries. Do not waste time and altitude trying to recover from a spiral/spin before activating CAPS. Inadvertent Spin Entry 1. CAPS .................................................. ............................... Activate Revision A1" |
