[edit] RE: Article Paragraph 2

Citation(s)/reference(s) for statistics given would be more meaningful for the article statement, "Despite that until the 2nd of December 2006 a total of 28 people have died in 40 accidents with the SR22 involved." [Just my 2¢, but references would lend greater validity to the article.] ~~~~~ <;)))>< ~~~~~ JamesBigBass 06:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Can we make a cirrus turbo page, although not a seperate model, it will create some confusion the the SR22 PAGE

2 JAN 2006

Please have a look at the Wikipedia Aircraft Project page for some guidence in how variants are treated. The Turbo SR22 is an after-market modification to the stock SR22 and as such it would be most appropriete to mention it as part of the SR22 article.

Just a suggestion - please get a user account. When you do you will get some welcoming information that will help get you started on these sorts of issues.

[edit] Not the "SR-22" I was after

Someone should write a Wikipedia article about the insurance document known as the "SR-22", required in many states for people caught/convicted of driving without auto insurance, DUI, etc. I would, but I don't know how, since "SR-22" redirects HERE! [to this article!]. Shanoman 22:02, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually that isn't hard to do - just go to the SR22 page itself (by waiting for the redirect and then clicking on the link at the top that says "redirected from") and change it from a re-direct page to a disambiguation page and then put two links on it - one to Cirrus SR22 and one to your new page you write about the insurance document, which could be called SR22 insurance document or something similar. That way anyone who just types in "SR22" would come to the disambiguation page and can then pick which one they want. Let me know if that doesn't make sense! Ahunt 12:18, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually, since it's not clear if there is enough information for a stub, I've put a redirect3 template to the top of the page, going to Drunk driving (United States). Should do the same thing you were after. -- RoninBK _{T C} 08:52, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

That will work fine! - Ahunt (talk) 11:43, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Apparently someone has taken both our ideas, creating an SR22 dab page, and pointed the SR-22 form link to the Drunk Driving page. Whatever works, I guess... -- RoninBK _{T C} 15:49, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] KTAS Verus kn

Although kn is the preferred abbreviation for knots in general, it's not adequately specific for aviation use. I've changed kn to KTAS in the Turbo performance section. The quoted values are correct, according to the Cirrus web site. Refer to the article on knots if you have any concerns. --Tedd (talk) 01:41, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cirrus SR22 in Google Earth

User:Hhaayyddnn has twice entered a statement that the SR22 is available "as flyable aircraft in Google Earth's flight simulator". I contend that this does not comply with Aircraft project guidelines which says:

"A "Popular culture" section should be avoided per Wikipedia:Avoid trivia sections in articles unless the appearances are especially notable. This section should not be a compendium of every trivial appearance, but significant ones of relevance to the airframe. The canonical example would be Top Gun for the F-14 Tomcat. Due to the large number of survey and arcade simulations, an effort should be made to avoid tallying every sim appearance unless there are very few of them. Fictional versions and speculation about fictional likenesses should not be included, as they constitute original research."

I don't think this use is "especially notable" and should be deleted, but I would like to hear from any other editors working on this page if they think it is notable and should be retained. - Ahunt (talk) 17:40, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
