This was the one I was referring to and I beg the question of what the pilot thought he was doing climbing into IMC and unable to deal with "confusing interment behaviour?" !!!
Yes the idiots life was saved by the Caps but what the heck was he doing there in the first place?
Hard IMC is not a playground for incompetent pilots relying on autopilots or systems to fly the aircraft for them they have a habit of going wrong.
The Cirrus will get attention as it is the most prominent make to offer the Caps as standard and the CAPS is an exciting safety device.
when its use is promoted for events where conventional training teaches you otherwise like in FLs then it is only natural that discussions will take place on when to pull or not to pull
