Re: Detonation
Not sure. I have done many hot starts and never had that occur.

Re: Detonation
I have read that a backfire can cause cracks in the exhaust and therefore possible carbon monoxide issue. Something to keep in mind for a check at next annual and be careful to ensure you have the CO2 monitor going and potentially a backup.

Re: Why would anyone buy a $1,400,000 twin piston?
It certainly would be interesting to see a 5 year side-by-side financial comparison for say 200hrs per year, factoring in cost of capital, fuel, recurrent training, maintenance, insurance, hanger, landing fees and so on.

Re: ECU A/B fail and engine cut off
Joop, just curious, did you try pulling the circuit breaker on this specific flight, and that did not re-set it?

The SRXX is just so unforgiving to pilots becoming distracted or overwhelmed and they slip up on their approach speeds and go into a stall / spin in the pattern / base to final. Or retract the flaps a little too soon at low altitude... and go into a spin. Poi...
