decimation: greenspun agrees that the sr-20 has challenging flight dynamics: http://philip.greenspun.com/flying/cirrus-sr20 " In terms of avoiding an accident, one problem with the Cirrus is its unforgiving handling compared to other basic four-seaters. For pilots accustomed to learning about an impending stall by feeling reduced airloads on the flight controls, the Cirrus provides much less stall warning. This is due to spring cartridges that

artifexd: Who produced it?
decimation: mircea_popescu: as geenspun explains, it is a legitimate safety mechanism, but it doesn't make up for the apparently "comfortable" handling
mircea_popescu: this is like a submarine with wheels.
mircea_popescu: because you just can'tg keep it in the water , and they know it
mircea_popescu: artifexd wao got them iirc.
decimation: mircea_popescu: well, the theory on that one blog is that because it has a parachute, inexperienced derps think they are invincible
decimation: so for example one guy got in one late at night in bad weather and flew it into a hill
mircea_popescu: from what i gather, it was missold.
mircea_popescu: ie, sold not as an expensive and dangerous toy, but as a commuting tool.
mircea_popescu: that, it is not.
decimation: anyone who thinks of small airplanes as a commuting tool has a date with death
mircea_popescu: "Normally a single-engine airplane has to be spun as part of the certification process. The Cirrus wasn’t. The FAA waived this requirement and accepted the airframe parachute as an alternate means of compliance. I kid you not, the spin recovery in a Cirrus is based on deploying the chute. That is the only way a pilot can recover from a spin in a Cirrus."
mircea_popescu: legitimate my foot and who the fuck would fly that. good call TheNewDeal
mircea_popescu: an unspinable single engine is not airworthy wtf.
decimation: it is true that if you want to fly a little airplane you are better off with a basic piper cub without fancy electronics
mircea_popescu: forget the electronics, this isn't a question of electronics in any sense. this is a question of fucking foil in flow.
decimation: right, but the point is that the shiny electronics is what sells the plane as 'safe'
mircea_popescu: i can throw a rock off a tall building and it'll spoend some time in the air too, that doesn't make it an airplane.
decimation: if one really wants a reliable communting airplane, one needs to spend several million $ to buy a reasonable jet that can fly above weather
mircea_popescu: you know, it occurs to me, all these small single engine planes should be only launched upside down from like 3 meters. by law.
mircea_popescu: if it can't take off you just drop 3 meters and spend a month in casts for your sins
mircea_popescu: if it can take off like that you'll be ok.
decimation: like Hammurabi's code for aeronautical engineers?
decimation: The other day I witnessed a particularly skilled glider pilot perform full loops, he did 3 in a row.
decimation: The pilot who landed that jet in the hudson was a skilled glider pilot
