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
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
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
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
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
What became of Diamond aircraft? - Pilots of America My question, was more as to perception than the hard number production For example, even here on PoA, when people come on asking about what aircraft to buy, we usually recommend the classic Cessna, Piper, Mooney, smattering of others The Bonanza always makes an appearance When someone talks of buying a high end aircraft Cirrus always comes up I am struggling to remember if Diamond ever
Cirrus pilot paid $15,000 for a parachute repack? - Pilots of America Cirrus was granted ELOS (Equivalent Level Of Safety) for the combination of the cuffed wing design from NASA which reduces spin risk to a very low level And by testing and proving the BRS parachute can be used to eliminate non-recoverable spins entirely The Cirrus can recover from a spin, the confusion seems to come from the FAA issuance of ELOS for Cirrus The BRS 10-year maintenance
Cirrus G7+ Safe Return Discussion - Pilots of America Commentary requested on the value of Cirrus's "Safe Return" As with CAPS, a life saved is priceless but the calculus on these options are complex Seems the Safe Return option is about $300K+ up front, pushing a single engine piston into the $1 5M stratosphere CAPS deployments (100+) have
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
