Interesting write up showing there is nothing wrong with the Cirrus SR20 spin behaviour

Also interesting that the testing was carried out on the SR20 not 22.
I have had low experience in both the SR20 and 22 but of the two found the lower powered SR20 had a more balanced feel to the aircraft rather than the 22.
Maybe someone with experience on both can confirm?

More interesting was the recommendation to use the BRS for recovery from a spin citing poor pilot ability and lack of knowledge in spin recovery.
Yet again coming back to a lack of training and poor handling skills in modern pilots regarding spin recovery.

Nothing much wrong with the Cirrus but a lot with the pilots and the training regime.
Again not Cirrus pilots but an emphasis on the training which is turning out avoidance pilots without handling skills.

now I await the flack
