Another Cirrus Chute Deployment Mystery

My first thought was "Didn't this guy check the weather before he took off?" Weather was absolutely below VFR minimums around here, and has been for several days. After looking at the post crash pictures, which shows that the plane is in many shattered pieces, I thought "this guy lost it in clouds and ended up in a CFIT situation."
Of course, I may be wrong, but....

My opinion is that when a pilot buys a Cirrus aircraft they are lulled into a false sense of security because they have a parachute. My experience has shown me that the training done for the aircraft only instructs these pilots how to push buttons, they need to learn how to make good decisions and how to fly the airplane by hand. This may not be the case for this accident; I’m speaking in general about the Cirrus training. I also think that after a Cirrus aircraft is purchased and the CSIP training is received, the pilot should have to fly with an FAA safety inspector to confirm the pilot’s competency in the aircraft.
ATP MEII

The two ATP MEII posters seem to be jumping to unfortunate conclusions. And their suggestions are at best unwise generalizations. Any loss of life in aviation is a tragedy. But to suggest that this or other Cirrus accidents are statistically significant and substantially different than that of other types of GA accidents misses the mark.

I haven't seen or heard that MEII's should be held to a higher standard when their students go out get in an airplane and run out of gas in their Pipers, Cessnas, Mooneys or Bonanzas. And yet we read about these and other avoidable accidents every year.
Where's the outrage against CFI's, CFII's and MEII's for allowing their students to commit these types of errors costing countless lives? Should these instructors be held to account for faulty training?

Flying any GA aircraft requires good decision making. When pilots do less than their very best in this area they place themselves and others lives' in grave danger. In many, if not most GA accidents the pilot is found to be at fault. Many of these accidents cost countless lives. But last time I read the NTSB reports… Cirrus aircraft are no more and no less likely to have bad accidents caused by bad pilot judgment.

As the owner of a SR22 I can attest to the fact that I treat every flight as though my and my passenger's lives' depend on my making the right decisions. Starting with the very first – GO/NO GO. And I believe that most pilots realize and function with this always foremost in their thoughts.

For those who do not… whether they fly Cirrus, Mooney, Bonanza, Piper, Cessna …the consequences are evident each year in the accident reports.

My experience has been that Cirrus as a company and the Cirrus owner's community (COPA) and the CSIP instructors do a great service in always placing safety first.
