From what I know of the Cirrus SR 20's, they are not traditionally recoverable from a spin. Hence the CAPS's (Cirrus Airframe Parachute System) was integrated into the airframe design. I would assume that DCA is using them for IA, CFII ratings now.

Remember when DCA used to be the Comair Aviation Academy? Those were the good old days, when Comair was still profitable, and growing.
