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.
OK, I will bite
a) Spin recovery is not now taught and never will be for PPL training so how could I (or others) be expected to recover from a spin.
b) Why the hell would a competetent Pilot in control of the aircraft get into a spin? if he has let it go that far and out of control I would suggest the last thing I would rely on is him to get out of it competently.
So lack of knowledge I agree, I have never been taught to recover from a spin. I do not have this knowledge or skill.
Lack of training and poor handling skills, complete and utter BS
Cirrus they couldn't be bothered finding out and used the BRS as and excuse not to test. In all likely hood you would be able to recover normally its just nobody knows. Well they more than likely do but nobody will admit to it.
I think fully explained above and more old wives tails
