@newsread1.news.pas.earthlink.net:

Many pilots wives are much less nervous about flying with a BRS
installed.


That was a very significant factor for me buying a Cirrus.

Thanks for the admission, I know 3 other pilot personally who feel the
same... (and wrote the check to prove it) "WE" know that the "REAL"
need for the BRS is a very small percentage of accidents, but our non-
pilot friends/loved ones have a whole different perception....

"but honey, what if something goes wrong??? Well sweety, we just pull
this here handle and all is well"

"WE" all know we go through the checklist, Look for a good place to do a
deadstick landing etc... and the "REAL" need for the BRS is a VERY VERY
small percentage, but THEY know if all else fails, there is an
alternative... (and quite frankly, if WE are honest with ourselves,
doesn't is make us feel a "little" bit better???) If the plane is
designed for it, that 30ish pounds will not make a dif in usefull load
eh?

I dunno, I guess I don't need a " "rs until I NEED a " "rs.....
