Perhaps Cirrus, in line with Cirrus owners should consider this. They may already have such a programme
This program exists and I would highly recommend that to every person flying a Cirrus, not just the owners.
The stats however are worrisome on Cirrus incidents, linked to IFR flight, and this can only be attributed to a training deficiency, either instruments, false sense of security, lack of systems knowledge, but it is a fundamental lack of training on type
This is endeed worrisome, but it is NOT a feature of the Cirrus. The stats are pretty much identical to other high-performance singles (e.g. Barron), as outlined above, therefore there is a training issue in GA.
