Cirrus SR22 slow flight handling

It’s not the tapered wing but the pronounced washout that allows the aileron to function in the stall. Neat AoA indicator.

Yes, wrong term that I used. I meant the double cuff wing design.

Full stall at 68kt, with full flaps, and three on board ? (6:58)
That’s pretty high.

Don’t know where you see that – the actual stall happens at 62kt when AOA display hits 1.0, the airspeed goes into the red part of the tape.

Is the AOA indicator Standard on Cirrus?

Still looking for a nice cheap SR22

You are right, stall occurs at 62, but further stabilizes around 67-68 IAS.

Is the AOA calculated or measured ?

What would be the stall speed of a V tail Bonanza with a similar loading?
I mean a 4 seat V tail Bonanaza

On newer model Cirruses (2010+) a stall should be relegated to the history books due to ESP and Underspeed Protection. ‘Pros’ will put down these technologies but they are the future (and wonderful).

Does it have auto throttle?

If not, how is the protection available unless flying on autopilot?
