Cirrus Aircraft sent an open letter to all current owners of Cirrus airplanes encouraging more landing practice and training which, shortly thereafter, led to the development of the Landing Standardization syllabus. Several years ago, following a rash of Cirrus landing accidents I wrote a set of articles in the COPA magazine titled “Landing a Cirrus – The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.” The two-part article focused on the mechanics of landing, beginning with the base-to-final turn through rollout and a possible go-around. The first point of touchdown was three quarters of the way down the length of the runway, at which point the outcome was no longer in doubt. The pilot was descending on final at 3,000 fpm and crossed the runway threshold at 151 knots, 40 percent faster than the Vref of 108 knots. The subsequent accident investigation revealed a highly unstable approach in VFR conditions.
The aircraft ran off the far end of the runway, struck an earthen embankment and became airborne again before colliding with cars parked in an adjacent lot. On July 31, 2015, a Phenom 300 with a pilot and three passengers was attempting to land at Blackbushe Airport outside of London, England.
