The BRS/CAPS chute is not 100% and it does take time to
work. Cirrus says they recommend 2,000 and a maximum AS of
133.
Those ground reference maneuvers, turns about a point may
have 50-60 degree banks at 500 AGL. Narrow river, high
speed, medium bank, and two pilots. Maybe the Yankee
management will realize that the Munson accident happened
BECAUSE the other non-rated CFI was in the Citation. The
only pilot was deferring to his first CFI and the CFI was
being polite to the PIC. Read the NTSB report. This may
be the same, expect there will be cockpit testimony.
