ok im corrected is the wing different than the sr22 wing? ive only flown the sr22 and thought the stalls were very easy

Yes, wings have 2 stall strips (SR20), I don't remember if the SR22 has the same or more.

SR20 Wingspan is 35'7"
SR22 Wingspan is 38'6"

People always make a big deal about the chute being used to get around spin recovery in the Cirrus, but I don't see what the big deal is. None of the twins we fly are required to recover from a spin and I don't see anyone refusing to fly one.

It's kind of funny to listen to ESPN try to cover this. Jeremy Schaap, who is a good journalist, clearly is struggling to dumb things down enough for the audience.

For example, he was talking about how if Lidle was flying, his wife loses some money. On the other hand, if the instructor was flying, then Lidle's widow gets the money.

But Schaap had to explain that there are two sets of flight controls on the airplane. So he said something like, on this airplane, just like anyone, both the pilot and the copilot can fly the airplane with their own controls.

OK, I was thinking that there were other design flaws...also I wouldn't say ugly, not the prettiest aircraft lately, but have you looked at low end pipers lately?

Just make sure you DON'T get into a position to enter a spin!

Apparently the Gear is stuck too.

The Cirrus is a good stable platform and is easier to fly than a 172. They have good stall characteristics. The chute is a safety feature that has saved lifes that would have been lost and it is up to the pilot to when they want to use it so get your heads around that. If you havn't flown one then stfu.

How about if you don't know why the chute was installed then STFU. Cirrus saying that their chute was there as an additional safety feature is marketing BS, they killed their chief test pilot during spin testing because he couldn't get out of a spin. If the lead test pilot on the program, who had had more hours in the Cirrus then you do thinking about airplanes, then what makes you think YOU could get out of a spin in a Cirrus hot shot?

You really work hard to make stuff up between the lines smarty pants.

 

[caliginousface]

Cirrus uses the chute because the plane is NOT spin certified. That is the truth.

Stable, ok. Easier to fly than a 172? Not even close. And yes, I have flown more than a couple.

Nope, just know somebody that works for Cirrus that told me the straight dope.
