Or maybe (speculation) there are simply more of them than other types in use....?
Really?!
More than PA28’s and 172’s that fly thousands of incident-free hours in comparison, and have for decades?
I’ve been saying it for ages. The Cirrus is rapidly proving itself to be unreliable and dangerous.
Compounding that is the fraternity of shiny fresh PPL’s who buy one when they have far more money than flying experience and who seem to be using up a rather worrying volume of AAIB ink and A4 paper.....
If we were still all on dial-up, we would have to receive the Cirrus incident reports via Royal Mail, as they’d clog up the UK’s internet.
Never criticise a man until you’ve flown a mile in his loafers.
