The FAA rules that the incident was caused by "pilot error".

Yea i'm fine. I use the bucket as a step to turn the camera on and off. Lucky it was there to take some of the fall energy.

Throw a tarp over the wing?

Holy cow.... could have been bad. Glad you're ok.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, more dangerous than simply walking around an aircraft on the ground.
-
Ouch man.. Glad you're ok!

Wont the tarp slip off as soon as I get on it?

BTW, how do you get into the Cirrus when when the wings are covered in ice?
See in the 20 & the 40 it was not a problem because you would get in from the front of the wing, but on the 42 since the blades are in the way you have to get in though the back of the wing (just like on the Cirrus).
When I get out to the airport for an early flying, in the winter the wings are covered in ice. Normally the first thing I do is take off the canopy cover (in order to be able to get in) while standing on the supper slippery frozen wing, and that's not very safe. Technically I can de-ice the wing first but that would be a waist of time, normally I just do the pre-flight and taxi to the de-ice pad, and they do everything for me.
So would you happen to have some special method of getting into the airplane safely without de-icing the wing?
I have wing covers for frost snow and ice. Failing that, heated type 1 deice fluid. Just back from hospital, cracked rib.

So you put them on the wing overnight, or do you put them on the iced wing and somehow it does not slide?
Just back from hospital, cracked rib.
Ouch, thought you said you were ok?
Well, get better.

Ouch man! It looked painful when you went down. I hope you get on the mend soon. :cheers:

Its like a canopy cover, except for the wings. They just stay covered till i'm out at the field.
I was ok but went to the ER just for peace of mind. Surprise surprise

Since it's not my plane that would not work for me. But I'll bring up that idea to them and maybe they'll do it. So far they already agreed about my idea of tying down the airplane differently, I'll tell you about that some other time.

Can you still do your daily tasks like that?

I believe Bruce makes segmented canvas covers for the da42, but it's been awhile since I looked. They are very expensive so they might not go for it.

Its called workman cleavage.

I see you have an OSHA approved step ladder. Lol
I know a drywall guy that screws two five gallon buckets together then walks on them by scooting them around on the edges.
Nice plane.
Glad your ok.

Did the same thing today.
Was putting the canopy cover back on and stepped backwards to stretch it out. That hurt.
