Matt,




What I don't know is what the stall characeristics are.


Utterly harmless. Just mushing down.


FWIW, my experience in the SR-22 is that it's easier to land than a
C182RG. I porpoised that damned 182 more times than I can count.

What do you mean by porpoise? Landing on the nosewheel (we call that
wheel barrowing in my neck of the woods)? Getting into a PIO?


No, Landing on the nose wheel results in the nose rebounding up about
the time the mains hit and then rebound. On the next one the nose is
coming down even steeper with the resulting rebound being even higher.

Wheelbarrow is when you land faster than the plane wants to and then
hold it on. This results in an inability to get the mains to stay on
and you go down the runway riding on the nose gear with the mains
still in the air. That is a true wheelbarrow.

Yes, that is why I was asking. Landing on the nosewheel and bouncing
off the nosewheel are, to me anyway, different.

Landing nosewheel first is a sure symptom of poor training! You should
*NEVER* land nosewheel first!

No kidding.
