Therefore, the Cirrus cannot
recover from a spin when below 900' AGL. Many other aircraft can.


Name one aircraft that can cruise better than 170 kts, carry four
people, and can recover from a spin at 900 AGL.


The occupants of a Cirrus can hope to "survive" a spin from 900 AGL if
all goes well, and I honestly feel that that is a great thing, but not the
same as "recovering" from the spin. The airplane will be bent, probably off
the field (possibly in a schoolyard, or the middle of an interstate, or...)
and there may well be injuries, inside and outside the plane.
