The introduction of Paul’s update on Cirrus safety.
includes a sidebar with comments made by Cirrus owners about flying the airplane and attitudes towards safety.

“In our view, Cirrus deserves credit for responding to COPA’s trend tracking and especially for Embark. If used buyers new to the type use it, they have a better chance of avoiding an accident.”

Rick Beach joined COPA in 2001 and bought his Cirrus SR22 because of the community of owners and their focus on safety.
