Good summary OZ and spot on with the conditions, it was woeful with 24 knots on the AWIB straight down 27, with this aircraft being on 21.

The issue I'm referring to would only be known to Cirrus pilots in that pretty much you don't flare a Cirrus at all when landing, you fly it into the ground, otherwise you will scrape the tail. (sure you can flare it, but only slightly) Given that this aircraft is landing and not taking off, you certainly would not want this angle of attack under any circumstances. On the previous circuit some bystanders believe that they observed (heard) the tail hit the runway.
