Jay,
I've always heard this same thing said about the Bonanza (the "Fork-tailed doctor killer") -- but recent accident stats for the Bo don't appear to bear this out. But it was during the early years of the Bo. The Cirrus is new. That's where I would see parallels. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

"Flying" reports that the accident rate is plummeting and quickly
approaching 182 territory. If the kind of pilots Jay refers to are predisposed to become Cirrus owners, the accidents certainly must have really gotten their attention and might create a quicker self correction than in some other airplane. -- Roger Long

If the kind of pilots Jay refers to are predisposed to become Cirrus owners, the accidents certainly must have really gotten their attention and might create a quicker self correction than in some other airplane. Early last year the accident rate got the attention of COPA. They instituted a safety program which included ground and flight training. The insurance companies beside raising rates, started requiring recurrent training from Cirrus certified instructors. The number of accidents did decrease, but with 3 accidents in the last month any hope of a quick statistical turn around was destroyed.

Transititioning from something else to a 182 is, what, 10-20 hours at most? Wonder what an adequate transition time for a Cirrus would be?
