A preemptive defense of a product that may not be that safe?
Do you think that maybe the reason Cirrus includes a parachute is because the plane is unrecoverable from a spin?
If a plane is capable of recovering from a spin, why would anyone want to pull a chute and crash land with the resulting damage?
Agreed. And I didn't realize that W visited the Cirrus factory - great! They're building and selling planes at an amazing rate. I am so happy for the Klapmeier brothers - two truly nice guys who had a great idea. Starting in the experimental regime, and refining from there to become certified ... AND running the company like a business - good for them!
I got a demo ride in a G2 to Oshkosh this year ... niiiiice plane!
