And what percentage would then rate your statement of "NTSB database is full of them SR-20/22's..."? See what I mean? Real question is how many hours were SR-20/22 flown in those 4 years. Demonick |

I'm gonna be- laughing at the owner because this Piper blows away his P-51! "Stick to your toy- leave the Cheyenne for the real pilots!" I'll probably get punched, but it will be worth it. D. |

... Right. And it is my understanding, that the SR-22's parachute system was installed solely to provide a means of spin recovery that was otherwise unavailable in this aircraft. Not true in a couple of senses. One of the founders of Cirrus Design was lucky enough to survive a mid-air collision. That, and providing another "out" for the pilot when all else fails were the primary impetus behind making the chute standard equipment. The Cirrus is supposedly recoverable in a spin, with one change from the usual procedu the yoke is supposed to be moved briskly forward to the stop. For JAA certification Cirrus had to do spin testing. I have been away from the newsgroups for probably a year. Coming back, there seems to be a remarkable amount of anti-Cirrus sentiment being voiced here. I guess, reading this thread, I would have to attribute a lot of it to envy. Certainly there seems to be a lot of knee-jerk unsubstantiated criticism. --Galvin |

First I've heard of it. What is the source of that information? I presume that spin recovery method is not mentioned in the POH. I can imagine situations where it might be preferable to 'chute deployment if it was truly a certifiable spin recovery option. |

I can imagine situations where it might be preferable to 'chute deployment if it was truly a certifiable spin recovery option. When we were looking at possibly buying a Cirrus (last year I believe) I contacted one of their reps about spin recoveries and was told that they were never tested but could 'possibly' recover normally from a spin :-) |
