SR-22 Crash, with a twist

Doug,

Glassy water makes the pilot think he is higher than he actually is.
Numerous crashes from this effect.


And that effect would account for a difference of (let's assume that
would have been a sensible altitude) 500 AGL and 0 AGL? You must be
joking. Glassy water can be a problem for landings with FLOAT planes.
The Cirrus isn't.

Nonsense. They landed. Everybody lived. What's the problem? G

They are lucky to be alive ....(x) 10.

I'm seeing an A.C.M.E. plane sinking in the water. When it comes to rest on
the bottom of the lake, the chute pops open - then a fish swims by.

Then Wiley jumps out, grabs the prop, hoists a leg and giver her a
whirl. Engine starts, plane begins to taxi around on the bottom and
chases our scruffy hero as the Roadrunner look on wearing SCUBA
gear... G
