How does the Cirrus rate compare to the late model 182 accident
rate, or the late model Bonanza accident rate? Those are more
likely to be used for travel, like most Cirrus planes.

Good suggestion. I ran the new production 182 figures, as it's fixed gear like
the Cirrus. Average of 1154 aircraft during the 2002-2004 period, 26 accidents,
average fleet accident rate of 0.75% per year. Slightly better than the Cirrus,
but still pretty close.
