Another Cirrus crash

Rest assured the acident rate of Cirrus is statistically off the chart
compared to C/P/B.

Here is a quote from the AOPA ePILOT electronic newsletter I received
this morning:

"Although there have been four Cirrus accidents this year—two
involving deployment of the rocket-launched parachute system, which
saved the lives of five people—the [Cirrus] safety record remains
good. AOPA Air Safety Foundation statistics show the fatal accident
rate is comparable to those of the Cessna 172 and 182. Although
insurance rates for Cirrus Design aircraft were high a year ago,
insurance officials report they have now dropped to normal levels."

Islip,

Most, if not all Cirrus owners ( except ArtP) get
used to it.


Don't own one, only did a demo ride. Took me all of two minutes to
adjust to it.

When you cross the Atlantic (either way) and drive for a few days, the day
will come when your vigilance will drop a notch. You will turn out of a
major road into a minor road, and you'll find you are on the wrong side of
the road.

I find the greatest risk of that happening is coming out of a gas
station or a restaurant.. Your guard may be down a bit at such moments.
