Power off 180 in Cirrus

If nothing else, can we quit referring to the airplane as "the bird"? Thanks.

When I went up with the DE on my CSEL in the SR20 we did power off 180 with power at idle. The only time I can think of when I didnt have power to idle was a simulated engine failure from a higher altitude, my instructor would periodically increase power for a couple seconds every so often just to keep the CHTs up.
 
Since when do you get to do the Commercial Power off 180 accuracy landing in a fixed gear airplane?

Did I miss a memo?
 
Correct, except that he OP makes no mention of this being an add-on, nor is it mentioned in the rest of the thread.

This would be pertinent information, no?

I didn't mention it as what does that have to do with the question? Sorry, but yes it would be the add-on, that is the only way (currently) to use a Cirrus for CSEL. I have heard rumor of other things to come (don't believe them, but heard them).

Goal would be to get CSEL in the aircraft I currently fly the most.
 
In the PTS under "Aircraft and equipment Required for Practical Test" it says that a complex airplane must be provided for take-offs & landings unless the applicant currently holds a commercial pilot certificate.

Doing the CSEL as an add-on isn't nearly as common as doing it as the initial is.

For what it's worth, I tend to think that the complex aircraft requirement will be eliminated some day. I don't think it should be done away with, but I think it eventually will be done away with.
 
This thread is way too much fun to start taking it seriously now guys!

By the way, I was going to go do some power off stalls in a Seminole, what power setting do you all think would be best for THAT?
