Yenn Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I have just read Steve Hitchens write up on the Cirrus Vision Jet, in Australian Flying. Think I will go out and buy one, they sound so good. What I really wonder about is the automation. We have just been treated to Boeing having automation go wrong, resulting in two crashes and many lives lost. The automation on the Cirrus prevents you stalling it and can't be overpowered, plus it can stop you banking more than 45 degrees. What worries me with this type of aircraft is how the pilot can fly it if something goes wrong. The Cirrus is touted at being very easy to fly, which means low time pilots are likely to be in control. I wonder if they really are. Maybe someone here can tell us if there are any published procedures to overcome failure of the automation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yenn Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 Looks like the toaster went berserk. Only the superstructure burnt, I wonder what started it. Could it have been the chute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
