Okihara:
If my memory serves me right, wasn't it you (Sunfish), who, not so long ago, were decrying how bordering suicidal flying coastal from Melbourne to Brisbane for the average GA pilot was? Drawing on those comments, I would have expected your aircraft had at least two parachutes, airbags, a spare prop and rudder, life jackets and 3 ELTs.
The first rule of safety is not to put yourself in a position where you need all those gadgets. my understanding is that early on, Cirrus had a bad accident rate which has now been fixed by extra training.
