Reflections on today’s Manhattan plane crash from a Cirrus SR20 pilot

Reflections on today’s Manhattan plane crash from a Cirrus SR20 pilot (the same plane which crashed)


from the author’s review of the Cirrus SR20: In terms of avoiding an accident, one problem with the Cirrus is its unforgiving handling compared to other basic four-seaters. The plane is harder to keep level with rudders in a stall than a Cessna or Diamond; if in a deep uncoordinated stall, the Cirrus wants to drop a wing and go into a spin.
