- A Statistical Analysis of Cirrus Accidents - Pilots of America
As most of you are aware, I do a lot of Homebuilt accident statistical analyses, using the NTSB accident database As part of that, I occasionally use the same processes to look at particular production-type aircraft The ongoing discussions re: Cirrus accidents got me curious So I fired up
- Trending Cause of Cirrus SR 22 NA Turbo Engine Failures
Do Cirrus SRxx have 2 fuel pumps (one mechanical on the engine and one electric) Yes, that's what it has They are connected in series -- see the diagram below The electric one is normally used during takeoff, landing and switching tanks, but the emergency checklist calls for turning it on in case of in-flight engine failure
- Cirrus SR22 vs Cessna 172 a newbies perspective! - Pilots of America
I flew a Cessna 172S G1000 a few months ago and then I got into a Cirrus SR22 just recently in a flight club Both conditions were perfect with viz greater than 20 miles In my opinion, I didn't like the way Cirrus has the joystick on the left side like that, it just feels awkward I thought
- To CSIP or not to CSIP? - Pilots of America
The Cirrus is a fairly conventional plane, and extremely safe when flown correctly, but has some bite-ya characteristics that are well known to the Cirrus specific instructors Without a doubt your transition should absolutely, positively, unequivocally be done by a CSIP Sorry for the lack of conviction ;-) There are more Cirrus fatals with CFI's on board than there should, be almost none of
- Cirrus success - Pilots of America
Cirrus builds what the legacy manufacturers don’t seem interested in: Efficient, fast, comfortable planes with the latest avionics, made of modern materials Piper’s closest equivalent was designed in the 70s; Cessna’s nearest competitor hasn’t been made for nearly 40 years
- SR22 Instability - Pilots of America
Cirrus recovered from 61 test spins using standard recovery technique in Europe with no anomalies noted by the test pilots The pilots remarked that it seemed difficult to get the aircraft to enter a spin
- Whats the difference in the SR22T and SR22TN? - Pilots of America
Originally Cirrus used the Tornado Alley Turbo STC to build the SR22TN They basically took their regular plane with the IO550K and bolted the TAT system to it right at the factory The engine has the same compression and the turbo only maintains a charging pressure slightly above atmospheric (30 5in or so) to compensate for the effect of increased backpressure Two years ago or so, Cirrus
- Cirrus SR20 22 vs Piper Arrow - Pilots of America
Besides cost, a big difference between the planes is that the Cirrus feels modern, and the Piper feels, well, "classic" in comparison The other biggie is the parachute; using the parachute, my non-pilot wife can, with near certainty safely land a Cirrus in a forest, with a 100' overcast 1 4 mile visibility, at night
