Default BRS for emergencies

Jim......You are misinformed about the Owl project. The BRS was

He never said it was deployed by the pilot.

The glider literally disintegrated with the pilot
being ejected through the canopy still strapped
into the seat pan.


Somehow I don't think that's a good thing.

the wreckage descended safely to the ground.


All safety is relative. Every sense of security is at least partly
false.

Thanks, Bob K.


I think what this is down to is that BRS that would work in the majority of
imaginable situations would be too heavy, too complicated, and too expensive
for wide acceptance.

Which brings us back to the alternative, pilot egress aids. The DG NOAH
system is but one possible approach. I think that just an inflatable seat
cushion that would raise the pilot's butt to the level of the cockpit sides
while pulling his legs from under the panel would work.
