@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. KR 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..... -- -- ET :-) "A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."---- Douglas Adams |
