It does seem like the parachute, an occasional a celebrity, amd the inconsistancy of small samples have simply increased the hype factor. I'm sure that is the case. Then again, if a chute equipped airplane has the same accident rate as a traditional design, I think one must question the value of having the chute and its associated cost and weight. It makes the pax happy. I have one in my ultralight and I've always thought that the odds of it being the right choice in an emergency are very slim. Of course, the people saved by them would probably install one again at twice the cost... moo |
