More on Cessna's new "Cirrus Killer"

But where is there a singe valid report of such an incident in any BRS
system . . . anywhere? Not just the Cirrus community but in the
ultralight community . . .

The pyrotechnique of the BRS is pretty much comparable to that of the
airbags in cars. Lots of accidents with them! (irony)

I'm with you... beyond the maintenance issues I think most people forget
that the reason the Cirrus came with a chute was because it couldn't pass
spin certification so in order to be certificated it had to be made with the
chute - at least that's what I've heard....

Yeah, I'd pictured a 'glass Cardinal before reading this today.

Picture a 210-sized single with the best features of a Cardinal:
windshield ahead of the wing, big doors, low entry threshold, wide
cabin.

I helped push the Extra (400?) out on the flight line 3 years ago at OSH,
when it was just being released. My impression was that it was ugly, and
really, really heavy. It is no surprise to me that they added a turboprop
to it.
