Ballistic chute saves 4 souls
On the 10th a Cirrus SR-20 pilot with 3 passengers on board deployed
his ballistic chute over the Canadian Rockies and landed safely on a remote ridge with no injuries. The plane dropped a wing and entered a non recoverable spin or spiral at 9500 feet and landed on the 4200 foot ridge. The cause is still under investigation but a RCMP officer on the scene noted unequal fuel burn in the wing tanks suggesting a serious out of balance situation. They were enroute from Seattle to Lethbridge, in southern Alberta when the incident happened over the BC Rockies. |

The paper article noted that there was a succesful deployment on another Cirrus in Texas 2 years ago. Perhaps you are hearing this info as the same weekend. Apparently both incidents are the respective firsts for each country. The Texas guy went down in Texas after loosing a wing flap without injury. The article I found was in the Edmonton Journal under thier 7 day archive menu for Apr.10. Any search engine should give you thier website. |
