I find the SR22 quick on the controls which is fun in VFR but a bit touchy in IMC. Trim is sensitive too. Control feel is a little "remote" feeling due to the spring centering. I find the avionics easy to use once you master the Garmin 430. I have no time in Perspective. Like any high performance plane things happen quickly compared to a 172. There seems to be a lot of SR22 accidents but if you compare the number of accidents to the planes in the system on Flightaware it looks better than a BE35 or C/P210 and similar to a BE58, Mooney, BE36. In other words, when you look at fast general aviation trip planes it looks like most others as far as accidents.
What will be interesting on this accident is if the flight data recorder is recovered. I think this was a late 2008 plane apparently purchased in the Oct/Nov time frame with the pilot having joined the Cirrus owners' group in November. That means the plane should have the new data recorder in the tail. It also means that time in type needs to be considered since he may have been new to the SR22.
It appears there was a Flightaware track so I suspect this was an IFR flight with a flightplan. As best I can tell there is no obvious indicator of either a pilot issue or a plane issue. Conditions were challenging but that is what you get a plane like this for and he was an experienced pilot if perhaps (unknown) low in SR22 time.
