So, and very critically, a Cirrus IS NOT certified as able to recover from a spin in the same way that, say, a C172 would be.
Why is this very critical? The Cirrus is a high performance airplane. Is a Mooney or Malibu or Bonanza certified for spin recovery? No light twin I've ever flown is certified as able to recover from a spin. So the Cirrus is no different from most high performance light aircraft, except it has the benefit of the CAPS as an additional option in the event of a spin.
