Two data points that don't mean much: The only two guys I have personally
known to have bought a Cirrus PRECISELY fit this description. Both guys
have tons of money, not enough free time to stay current, and fly
complicated, long-distance flights on the rare occasions they fly at all.

What's the group-think on this one? Is Cirrus just good at attracting
crappy pilots? Or is there something else at work here?


The pilot in the Florida incident had 600 hours in type, an instrument
rating, and was a co-founder of the Cirrus Pilots Association. That hardly
sounds like someone who does not stay current or who flies only on rare
occasions.
