Did you compair with a Lancair / Columbia? I can't understand why
anyone would pick a Cirrus over a Columbia except fpr the chute.
The chute was actually designed into the airframe to circumvent
difficulties with spin recovery requirements was it not?

I think the BRS is more for the non-pilot. The wife, friends wife thats

If they looked at the numbers they might change their minds, but often
rationality has nothing to do with it (especially if they are
excessively worried in the first place).

I had many friends say I should of bought the Cirrus because of the chute. I
actually looked at a used one and was going to buy it until I got the
insurance quote. 10K a year. I was actually a litttle intimitated by the
plane at first.
I think its a great plane, but at this point if I was considering a new
plane I would go A36.
