Default Cirrus... is it time for certification review?

Clue - Look at fleet size, then adjust for that, and come back with some
more meaningful statistics.


The fleet size isn't nearly as relevant as total flight hours for the flight
over a span of time. And yes, I agree that the data is missing. However,
none of you have provided alternate data to support the claim that the
Cirrus is actually worse. And at first glance, the total number of Cirrus
accidents is MUCH lower than for Cessna accidents, which is exactly what one
would expect given the difference in fleet sizes.

Clue: when you are making accusations, the burden of proof is on YOU. If
you're going to claim that the accident rate is abnormally high, you need to
provide data to support that claim. Suggesting that the defense has
insufficient data isn't meaningful.
