Did you know The Cirrus Airframe Parachute System, better known as CAPS, is a whole-plane ballistic parachute recovery system? It was specifically designed for Cirrus Aircraft and its general aviation light aircraft line. The design became the first of its kind to become certified with the FAA, achieving certification in October 1998, and as of 2022 was the only aircraft ballistic parachute used as standard equipment by an aviation company.
I hope you enjoyed this video and learned a little aviation fact for today! More to come tomorrow!
Wishing you all the best!

It's like an ejection seat for the whole plane
an ejection see for the whol... wait.. what? what happen to seats in plane? they turn into aircraft? 🙃
Nothing is being ejected here.
Yeah. (Also 666th like)
@@5pecialFX a rocket and parachute is ejected here from airframe
Guy hopped out of the plane like a fucking GTA character 😂
😂👍 He then stole the van, picked up a hooker then blew her up with a RPG.
Beats trying to land in a city or mountainside anyday
That’s an awesome idea really. Not only does that greatly increase the odds of the pilot and passengers lives greatly but it also helps keep the lives of people on the ground safer as well by slowing the decent of the plane down.
As opposed to descent UP?
@@majormanfredrex pretty sure they meant 'slowing down' 🛩
@@PsychoKat90 Then Jesse James can't speak English.
@@majormanfredrex you've never heard anyone say "to slow [something] down"? It's pretty standard phraseology, at least where I'm from.
@@PsychoKat90 Where I am from, we don't flap our mouths unnecessarily or fuck up the logical word order.
We say; "slowing the plane's descent".
Slowing already means "bring DOWN the speed".
Descent means "reduce altitude" or "downward movement".
Decent means "respectable, moral, good etc".
"Down" is used in the wrong place in the sentence.
If the person commenting insists on adding unnecessary words, he should say "slowing down the the descent of the plane".
They clearly had fifth language English teachers where you went to school. Get your parent's money back if you can.
Cirrus Landing Checklist:
1. Pull Caps
2. Landing Checklist Complete
After Landing checklist:
1. Repack parachute
2. Replace propeller
3. Repaint the plane's body
@@ElwoodEBlues After Landing Checklist (short):
1. Buy a new cirrus Plane.
Cirrus pre landing checklist: fuck something up
Citrus pre landing checklist option 2: have an oh-shit moment
@@K0nst4nt1n96 just wheel & props change is enough
My zenith 750 has one, and when I get to 600 foot AGL I can’t wait to say ZAPS available.
Cirrus didn’t make them standard for safety reasons, they could not get spin certified through the FAA so they put on a ballistic recovery system.
I don't understand.
@@nikotakai8796 then this page is not meant for you
@@waschte123 whoa, cool guy here, huh?
@@nikotakai8796 it means during certification, the FAA was not happy with the performance envelope. The test pilot will purposely induce non-typical situation and see how the airframe reacts during recovery. The Cirrus can be recovered from a spin but it’s not easy. Instead redesigning the airframe, Cirrus designed their CAPS system. There are few other types of aircraft that have parachute systems.
That's relative only to one cirrus type (20). The other types have it as a "nice to have".
Oh that's cool, I didn't know that cirrus planes came with a VTOL option 😅
Edit: It's actually VL
It’s also a life limited part and requires a full replacement at the manufacturers specified interval. It’s extremely expensive to replace.
So is a plane
@@Tactical_Assault_Pelican No doubt. Zero room for errors in the sky. Everything must be perfect .
Might as well be worth it to save priceless lifes
@@Tactical_Assault_Pelican .. but a person is worth much more.
@@RB747domme precisely my point, of your unhappy to pay fir a life limited, expensive part like a parachute then why pay for a plane, you dont deserve one if you think safety is a trade off yo save money
I wonder how many lives this system saved.
Lots! I used to work there. We've got a wall covered with pictures of every aircraft that has needed to use CAPS
@@beastModeRocco well how many exactly?
@@DctorSkillz1 .
Hi..
As of 21 September 2021, CAPS had been activated 126 times, 107 of which saw successful parachute deployment. In those successful deployments, there were 220 survivors and one death. No deaths had occurred when the parachute was deployed within the certified speed and altitude parameters, and two anomalous unsuccessful deployments had occurred within those parameters. Some other accidental deployments were reported, as caused by ground impact or post-impact fires.[25] As of 24 October 2019, 21 of the aircraft that had deployed CAPS had been repaired and put back into service.
I looked it up. Cheers. Fly safe.
@@crimson786 thank you so much!
I have been in this aircraft and it's really nicely engendered.
0:14 but this isn`t a cirrus aircraft 🤨
As a cirrus flyer, this gives my passengers piece of mind.
Mom: How was your day son?
Pilot: It was amazing I crash landed on the van with the plane’s parachute.
Microlights / LSA in Germany ALL have ballistic rescue systems. It's a gratis safety feature that should be Standard in any aircraft.
The parachute ejecting position would be better at near center? To avoid that painful nose landing 💀🤣🤣🤣
I remember being courted by a Cirrus sales rep once upon a time. When your spin recovery checklist is "Pull parachute. Pray" I'm out.
Imagine a parachute slowing down a 747
The plane under canopy in the extreme nose down position (and the guy jumping out afterwards) is not a Cirrrus. BRS (and a couple others) make parachute systems for multiple makes and models.
And the Cirrus has normal spin characteristics, but they pursued the parachute option in lieu of actual spin testing for certification. It’s been spun since then.
Could that be possible for big airliners?
i bet it’s possible, i feel like we are way behind on technology these recent years
Pov : half my planes in ksp
And this is exactly why I choose Cirrus over any other small aircraft manufacturer. Genius innovation!
When you are not sure you put the pistons in right
A lot of people wonder why airplanes don't have parachutes like this. But wow, that is a very small airplane!
I'm pretty sure that the Moyes Dragonfly has a ballistic chute standard. So not the only one used by an aviation company.
I've flown a c-172 with a ballistic parachute
When the airplanes hits the ground the impact is like if the airplane would have free fall from 15 feet.
I remember that idea and it's from the 80's if remember correctly !!!
Great idea. I wonder how many people are actually saved by that.
That’s how I land all my Kerban Planes
One was deployed in Fort Myers a few years ago.
That's great footage.
Why isn’t this more widespread? Seems like an excellent idea, a ‘get out of jail free card’ if something goes wrong. Pop the parachute and you land safely. Sure the plane might get a little scratched up but it’s better then wrecking the whole thing.
This footage is old, now the parachute “rights” the aircraft so it will land on its wheels.
This is why I like and want to fly the SR22
Those falling planes should have sounding horns or flashing high beam lights on them that activates when they fall. Early warning before a big ass plane falls on you.
They should have a siren like the WW2 Stukas had.
Proudly built in North Dakota
That plane needs airbags
It's genius. All small aircraft should be standard with one. Saves pilots lives and the plane!
Been around for donkeys years. They've been in some gliders in Europe for twenty years
Manufactured by BRS also used in other aircraft.
I’d still prefer to perform a forced landing and save the plane. However there is a time and place where the parachute would be appropriate.
And I thot it was something I suggested! About time!
Big jets next!
Please invent something for big aeroplane also 😊
🟩 If the parachute's engineers had stayed to work for just one more hour, they would have lowered the plane to the ground ON ITS WHEELS.
I’m 2022 Czech sport cruiser also used this on many of there planes the only difference is that it is a package and not on every plane but this is used on other company’s in at least as ealry as 2015
Very cool.
I love to learn to fly thanks you
There should be some sort of alarm going on that goes off after a certain altitude so that people on the ground can have an idea of an airplane coming in .It would be silly to kill someone by parachuting airplane.
I agree but how could someone not see that huge ass plane coming
🚧 OUTSTANDING INFORMATIVE VIDEO SIR 😇👍👌🧐🍻🚧
I flew in one of those. It was awesome.
took away the word adventure in flying a plane
if you have a parachute you never have problems. simple
I used to do recreational skydiving, when I was younger and bolder. I wouldn’t want to have to deploy that one, but might definitely beat the alternative!😊
That's CAP 🧢 badum tssss
It does baffle my mind that this isn't on all small single engine aircraft.
Reminds me of the movie called the God's must be crazy.
The v22 osprey needs this
Hypothetically… how big of a parachute would you need for a 747
I'm not a pilot but I would think that insurance for a plane would be much cheaper if equipped with one of these chutes, so much so that it would probably pay for the chute 10 fold in the life of the plane!
it's just like in KSP but it's real life
If the plane didn't land on its nose it would be able to save the plane too. I don't know why they didn't do that.
Thats cool
Imagine the size of the parachute to bring down an A380 like that
Aeroprakt a22 can be equipped with the similar system
It is not the only one as many ultra light aircraft are equipped with parachutes.
Most GA aircraft have really good glide capabilities and can land relatively easily with engine outs. Cirrus on the other doesn’t. If I’m not mistaken it has a terrible flight characteristic that makes it near impossible to land during engine outs and the only way the FAA would certify the airframe was to add an “oh crap” handle. Nonetheless they make a really nice aircraft that is fun to fly.
The Cirrus (SR20 &SR22) has quite good gliding characteristics under no power, the reason for the initial design of CAPS was because the Cirrus was difficult to get out of a spin, so spin certification was a problem to get so they designed CAPS to get around that.
P.S You can spin and recover in a Cirrus, it's just more difficult and risky.
Exactly
Rule was if the chute is pulled, the plane is considered totaled by insurance companies. Not sure about later models that where the chute lands the airframe on wheels
I don’t think you know what your talking about. Any CAPs deployment totals the airframe. The later models are designed to stay perpendicular to the ground after deployment, but that isn’t always the case, and it was done to reduce the chance of occupant injury. The webbing attached to the parachute rips both sides of the airframe from the back to the front. It’s not practical to repair it.
Interesting. I wonder why Cirrus would advertise that there are 21 aircraft that deployed CAPS, then recovered, repaired and put back into active service (airworthy planes). Again all of us know how the insurance guys treat every case with intense scrutiny and suspicion. So it's very rare that anything gets past them - as in they agree to cover the damages. That's just the way they work, I guess. But you are probably right in inferring that the plane would suffer significant damages and impact forces not usually received during the flight envelope. We must all realise that the primary goal is to save the life. And that is achieved by making the airframe tough in certain areas, considering how it would be oriented when the chute has deployed. Thanks for your comment.
Cheers and fly safe.
Wow good
I think Pipistrel also has such parachutes
My daughter’s flight school has cirrus planes. They use the parachute as a selling point for nervous parents 😂 I think she prefers the Skyhawk she earned her private pilot cert in (at another school), but her university spent a whole lot on those Cirruses so that’s what she flies. At least until she makes it to dual engine.
Damn was she paying like $400 an hour for the plane?? My schools all have planes where you'd think the engine was gonna fall out! 😂
Kingfisher would have lived to have one like this, for the business Operation...
How uncertain about their aircraft the company must be in order to fit the whole plane with a parachute as standard 🤔
CAPS chute for A380 spans 15.25 acres.
This idea comes in my mind first 😂😂😂😂😂 happy to know it's allready existing
Haha my brother builds those plans
The long sequence is not a cirrus. Maybe MCR01.
First time I've seen that one. How widely used is it.?
Wow wow
Saw a how it's made on it has strands built into the plane that rip out when fired so you won't get coreds getting tangeld I don't know how much damage the plane takes when this is used
I also play Kerbal Space Program
oops I accidently pressed CAPS
Joe I'm gonna be honest i thought that "caps" stands for lies 💀 oh and by the way good video :D
About Icon A5 you should put on your list . Post right informations to the public .
How many large parachutes do you need for a Boeing 747?
any landing you can walk away from...
Can you make it... A380-sized?
The video of the plane landing on the street with the chute is not a Cirrus.
It needs to stable up the plane.
Soooooo cool
THATS IN MY STREET
Good to know. I keep removing the caps pin during the checklist but had no idea what it's for. Lol
And you're a pilot? That's scary
You can’t be serious right?
Ha ha.. sarcasm..?
Wow ...
Now explain why don't we have huge parachutes for jumbo jets?
Parachutes: For people who don't know how to fly their plane _!!!_
Ah yes X PLANE
Why don't they set it up to where it drops the plane on it's gear instead of the nose
Why isn’t this standardized across all aircraft?
I thought it was a handy feature so you don't have to hold shift all the time when yelling over the internet.
Now explain chemtrails
