Actually, I don't think it was this one., but I stand corrected. My valid point, however, is that Cirrus aircraft have suffered far more than average prop strikes. One can get away with extra speed in a PA28, but less likely in a Cirrus.

As for glass cockpit, side stick and single lever, I agree, no problem what so ever. But I would add that for the elderly, small digital screens are more difficult to interpret than good old fashioned analogue dials. Initially, my IF was rubbish due to me trying to be too clever and the lack of rate on the digital display. But I learnt how to get round all that.

Whatever, I prefer my SA Bulldog, but horses for course; it does use much more fuel that a SR20.
