The Cirrus is a high-performance single and flies as such; it isn't remotely as forgiving as a Skylane. That said, it isn't exactly a F-104 waiting to kill you.

Fly it by the numbers and it is a fantastic aircraft, but like most high-performance airplanes, it doesn't tolerate being slow and in a skid.

I've done PLENTY of slow flight, power-on stalls, etc. in a SR22 and the *only* time it ever entered an incipient spin was because I purposefully did a power-on stall with my feet flat on the floor. Stall broke, wing dropped, and the maneuver was recovered within 90 degrees of heading.

Airspeed, airspeed, airspeed...
