Speaking of safety... I understand that the accident rate for the
SR-22 is about half that of the rest of the GA fleet and for

on that?


Gee, that's not what I heard. I heard they have the worst record of the
high performance fleet. The thinking is that there are a lot of 100 hr
pilots flying across the country in these new "safety" machines.
