In all there are 45 in the AOPA database

Have you got a URL for that?

(Cirrus Design) starting in 1990 with the VK-30.
18 are reported as Fatal. Last entry is 12/11/2005
in Acro MN.


I suppose about one fatal mishap per year is not too alarming. But it
just feels like there have been more lately. I still wonder how many
final Cirrus crash reports the NTSB has yet to issue.

42 Cirrus aircraft accidents in five years.
14 in 2005.
11 of 14 were model 22's, of of which was a G2.
3 of 14 were model 20's.
4 of 14 flights were fatal.

How does this divide out with total flying hours in the Cirrus? How
does it compare with othe aircraft once normalized?

NTSB search did not list the Dec 29 crash.
Add one to each of the lines except the model 20's.

I knew this pilot, a business acquaintence. Talked airplanes with him
at lunch, once. He loved his Cirrus and seemed to be a conservative,
prudent sort of guy.

How does this compare with the total # of GA accidents in 2005?

I'd also like to see some data on the experience of the pilots of these
planes to see if we're once again putting high performance planes in the
hands of inexperienced pilots and wishing them luck....

With all the Cirrus accidents, it seems they've started including
additional safety features in addition to the airframe parachute
system:

http://www.cirrusdesign.com/aircraft/safety/

Terrain Awareness
TAWS (Terrain Awareness Warning System), now a standard
installation on all CIRRUS SRV, SR20 and SR22 aircraft, helps keep
you clear of terrain and obstacles.

Airbag Seatbelts
AmSafe Aviation™ airbag seatbelt restraints are now part of the
new SAFETY COMES STANDARD installation program at CIRRUS.
CIRRUS includes the airbags to help ensure greater protection for
the pilot and front-seat passenger in the event of an incident.

Years ago we called it a 200 kt aircraft with a 50kt brain.
