.....when you add power what do you need to do with the rudder???

If only he had some Yawberry RiddleThirst...(made with rudder pedals)

 

[flhrci]

One less Cirrus in the world to cause problems.......Oh wait, it already did.

Are you talking about the foot rests?

 

[wabower]

Rudder? Rudder? We got a chute and a straight and level button, we don't need no steeenking rudder!

Keep it straight so it does not interfere with the chute lines.

Put your feet on the pedals so they don't get caught up in the chute lines?

 

[nddons]

Are you talking about the foot rests?

Exactly. Especially in a plane that flies itself.

Just a reason to have a spring steel landing gear 150 and aluminum instead of a fangdangled plastic glue together airplane. A 150 would have likely kept going straightish and failing that, it would have bounced to a stop without damage then taxi onto the runway and try again...or takeoff from the grass.

 

[DavidWhite]

Atleast it didn't catch on fire.

 

[CMTowner]

I didn't know Cirrus was offering the low profile landing gear edition. Does it come with spinners?

 

[DaleB]

Jeez, tough crowd. Note to self: If I can afford a Cirrus, paint it to look like something else. But for the love of all that's good in the world, not so it looks like an RV.

 

[John Baker]

I didn't notice anywhere in the article if the pilot had filed a flight plan or not.

Surely if he had, he wouldn't have crashed.

*Sigh* Giving Cirrus a bad name. Again.

The C150 only has 100 hp. The SR22 has a considerably larger engine, and is less forgiving of non-use of rudder.

Something is telling me that the fire department officials don't have all the facts. So he was landing, bounced and applied power to go around, veered to the left (fine he did not apply enough rudder), and then he decided to cut power again?? Sounds a little odd.

In my other thread when I looked for photos of the Novato crash I used Google. That same field came up, only with a Cirrus crashed in the field.... eventually I found my photo (an experimental).

 

[Old Geek]

Tough crowd indeed. It's a poor workman that blames his tools.

 

[cirrusmx]

Not even a prop strike. Thats impressive.

 

[kimberlyanne546]

"He (the flight instructor on board) said the plane had been recently purchased and the owner or owners were taking a flight to orient themselves with the features of the aircraft when a strong crosswind swept across the aircraft as it attempted to land."

 

[MAKG1]

(an expiremental).

Sorry, Kimberly, but that's one heck of a funny spelling error. "Expire" it is.

 

[kimberlyanne546]

Sorry, today has been rough. I will edit.

 

[cirrusmx]

tells us, what happened?

Typical reaction. If for whatever reason you don't like the airplane and the pilot screws up, blame the airplane. This exact situation happened to a pilot in a Mooney a few weeks ago at a local airport. B)
