It's was sr-20 and the only way they( Cirrus Design) could get this plane passed faa was to add the parachute ...... this plane will not re-cover from a flat spin which what happened in this case.... I almost bought one when they first came out in 1998 but after flying it and the spin factor i bought a Cessna 182....

the parachute didn't help....

I don't know anything about planes......is a flat spin like a speed wabble ?

thats not entirely true, i flew a 4 seat Cessna above the Rockies drunk one time... just for 5 minutes... it was fun...

I was also in a Bell helicopter above the mountains..... I didn't fly it, I was sober, and it scared the piss out of me....
