Thanks John. But what I'm looking for is your gut feeling, not
evidence of. The theory is that asked a straight forward question
the majority or average response of a large number of people is allot
more reliable than individual experts. From the book "The Wisdom of
Crowds" if your interested.


Like the majority that once believed the Earth was flat and that Poseiden
ruled the seas?

Cessna will not install a BRS on any of their aircraft. Surprisingly, it
increases liabity issues instead of diminishing them.


However, the Cirrus is actually outselling Cessna and the wogs say it is
because of the chute aboard. I suspect Cessna is going to start seriously
looking at putting parachutes on all of their single engine airplanes except
perhaps the Caravan! :-)
