    So I’m at dinner last night with my buddy’s family, his father is an experienced pilot…he casually mentions his plane needs to be refitted with a new parachute.
    So every ten years these Cirrus SR22’s require that.
    I’m thinking a parachute for the pilot to bail out, he shows me this video and I’m STILL gobsmacked.
    The next day.
    I had no idea, and all these years I was worrying about him flying with their dog and my friend (who is paralyzed) and the fact this is possible blows my mind.
    Definitely a sweet plane, 100% worth it if you’re in the market.

And most of all, implementing more systems will make the plane heavier, making it take more fuel maintenance costs go up, and your ticket prices that are already very high go up more

Came down on its parachute too and landed in a field, largely undamaged and the 3 on board fine. However the pilot omitted to cut the parachute free of the plane and not having been taken away yet, the next day strong winds started blowing that did not only drag but even lifted the plane, it this time ending up upside-down in a pond, now being severally damaged indeed.

    It lacks of a system to release the parachute after landing/amerizing. Here the parachute drags the plane strongly due to the wind, and even makes it capsize, creating a dangerous situation and reducing the probability of a sucessful evacuation of the aircraft. Other than that, the system seems to work pretty well.

      True -- I doubt he could get into his little raft and out of the way before the aircraft sank, without some practice. Not very feasible, but I've seen vids on the Cirrus and the Chute before, I'm still not really convinced. That was a Holland vessel that recovered the man in this video, all no doubt planned and NOT a real-life type of event! (Then, of course, he'd have to worry about a Kraken grabbing him in the North Sea before the rescue ship got there. On land? Maybe the outcome could be much better, depending on what is underneath.

    • @DeepFriedBeans23819

      The chute gives you a little bit more hope in a hopeless situation, when you are in a situation in which you have to use CAPS, you're going to die without it 100%, CAPS will give you the possibility of surviving a lethal situation. If youre in water your odds really go down as shit can really hit the fan, but these chutes arent made to detach, once you land youre supposed to ditch before you get dragged or the aircraft explodes, the reason they make these chutes not to detach much like a spacecraft's chutes, because the forces that are being applied could break any type of release mechanism, your adding a structural point that could potentially fail, its better to make it rigid and where it wont fail, and then get the hell out of dodge before you get dragged away. Its simply your best bet in a situation that you would otherwise be killed in.

So an already crash survival focused design like the Cirrus should also have considered airframe recovery at sea.
