If you don't use them, they don't have a chance of working. But if you don't use them they cannot fail. It is the same with the parachute. |

Morgans,
If the pilot is too proud to pull it, the safety feature of the parachute means nothing. Just like seatbelts. If you don't use them, they don't have a chance of working. Sorry, but that's just, well, not so. If that were true, there'd be no pilot error at all. And I guess we all agree there is - plenty. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

And it is my understanding, that the SR-22's parachute system was installed solely to provide a means of spin recovery that was otherwise unavailable in this aircraft. |

Just trying to help, Well, you should have cross-posted the thread to at least three other groups when you jumped in to help. |

"Happy Dog" wrote in message ... Does anyone have any hours flown / accident stats? Is there any particular problem with Cirrus that makes it less safe than any other like GA plane? Sure. It is a high performance hot rod that is far too much airplane for most of the pilots flying it. People think that with a parachute and modern everything that it should have a safety record comparable to that of the Cessna. That is a most unfair comparison, kind of like comparing the safety record of a Maserati to an SUV. The Cirrus is the modern equivalent of the fork-tailed doctor killer. Considering that, it probably has a very good safety record by comparison. |

No wonder the papers screwed up the facts. BTW, If you want the e-ticket ride of the year, I'll be test-flying a Cheyenne 400 next week. D. Where are you going to be? |

Note that I wasn't comparing it to a 172. moo |
