Dude,
One way to look at it is total aircraft numbers versus aircraft with fatal accidents - which is what Richard Collins does in the latest issue of Flying. Cirrus is comparable to the 182S that way. Many other planes are much worse. The one fatal accident after the mag appeared doesn't change that. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

C,
Well, we realize that you think this plane was built by the flawless gods, Why the ad hominems? Just because I don't agree with you? The Cirrus cannot. Again: how do you know? Data, please. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Vaughn,
A capability for a normal spin recovery sounds like a much better idea. Define normal. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Dave,
I have heard, though cannot confirm, that some kind of spin certification will be required for JAA certification, so hopefully that will put this issue to rest. Coming from a JAA country: Yes, the JAA seems to hesitate to certify the aircraft without the "standard" spin testing. All Cirri (?) in Europe are US-registered so far. Cirrus and JAA seem to be still debating the issue, since AFAIK the JAA/FAA mutual acceptance of certification agreements seem to require the JAA to certify it. Then again, those same agreements should have led to a much quicker certification of the Thielert Centurion by the FAA, too. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Except spin recovery isn't part of the curriculum any more. We are not talking about a trainer, we are talking about an advanced, owner-flown, plane that will occasionally end up in an inadvertant spin. Any pilot that has enough experience to be flying one shout at least be able to recite the standard spin recovery procedure. Vaughn Don |

Your POV is taking on the tone of a religious fanatic. You seem unwilling to accept any criticism of the Cirrus whatsoever, even well-established facts. The Cirrus cannot. Again: how do you know? Data, please. Cirrus' own web site says so. So does the POH. The Cirrus cannot recover from a spin without pulling the parachute and did not do so in tests. The parachute cannot be deployed below 900' AGL. Therefore, the Cirrus cannot recover from a spin when below 900' AGL. Many other aircraft can. So far, however, you have been unwilling to accept any data that disagrees with your point of view. |

The folks claiming that they stall without warning Anyone here make such a claim? Or is this just a straw man argument? |
