I have to jump in here. It's way too much fun.
Has anybody read the Cirrus POH ? That's not how I deal with problems.
They work with you not to pull the chute and to use your checklist. But every checklist ends with "pull the chute".
That summarizes the whole plane, the Cirrus plane is designed around marketing.
The only thing that I find good about the whole Cirrus ordeal is that it gave a lot of money to TAT so they could prove to the GA industry that WOTLOP is the way to run your engine.
