IIRC there have been 8 crashes now of Cirrus SR-22 aircraft. Most all seem to be pilot error and most buy far where beginner pilots. This is a very sophisticated plane to fly and has problems similar to the F-104 Starfighter. " You better know what you are doing if you are going to be flying me I'm very unforgiving." Meaning you can not make errors. In most airplanes they are some what slow to response, so if you make a small error it can be corrected. Not so in this plane or the F-104. They are like a driving Ferrari, you turn there is no room for any error, it is immediate and very quick. One reason its that it is flown with a side stick and not the traditional "wheel" column. Something new in small private planes but common if fighter jets. You can't drive a 1969 four-door sedan Chevrolet's all you life and then jump in a 2006 Ferrari and hit the road course. You will be in the woods
