Because uninformed handwringing generally starts because of uninformed reporting. And when people who write legislation start thinking about banning GA aircraft from cities, well, they make bad decisions. I'm not saying it's happening yet, but it's a slippery, slippery slope.

They may be trying to sell ad space, but you can spin stuff for drama and still be accurate. Most of the news is flat effin' wrong here and they need to be corrected.

It wasn't until I started reading JC that I found out that the main reason for the BRS was to pull it in the event of a spin. Right? But I'm wondering if all Cirrus owners know this....
