Doug,

Glassy water makes the pilot think he is higher than he actually is.
Numerous crashes from this effect.


And that effect would account for a difference of (let's assume that
would have been a sensible altitude) 500 AGL and 0 AGL? You must be
joking. Glassy water can be a problem for landings with FLOAT planes.
The Cirrus isn't.
