Tom,
I agree and disagree with AOPA ePilot. Compared Cirrus SR 20/22 with Lancair 300/400 series, which appear to be similar aircraft in design, manufacture, performance, and equipment. Neither can be compared to Cessna/Piper/Beech in design or concept. Even though the Lancair 300 has been flying longer than the Cirrus SR, Lancair 300/400 has only two (2) NTSB accident/incident reports with one (1) fatal, compared to Cirrus SR 20/22 having eighteen (18) reports with eight (8) fatal. This seems significant to me. I will add that of the nine (9) fatal accident reports, NTSB determined pilot error with regard to weather, loss of situational awareness, or improper technique as the cause, except for one accident. NTSB determined that the cause was attributed to a design flaw by Cirrus. This seems significant to me. Mike $$$ (PA28)
