The SR22 is not approved for spins, and has not been tested or
certified for spin recovery characteristics. The only approved and
demonstrated method of spin recovery is activation of the Cirrus
Airframe Parachute System (See CAPS Deployment, this section).
Because of this, if the aircraft "departs controlled flight," the CAPS
must be deployed.
Sounds like legal-speak to me. I'm am willing to bet that Cirrus has
spun
the hell out of that design with pleasing results.
Actually, no pilot has ever reported recovering from a spin in a Cirrus. It
is not for lack of trying. There are numerous reports of Cirrus aircraft
crashing (or they would have crashed if CAPS had not been deployed) after
the pilots entered a spin, however.
