Cessna BRS

Q: Will the new Cessna LSA have a factory installed ballistic recovery
parachute option? Yes or No.

Let me know your gut feeling. I want to see if group intelligence
theory works. Thanks in advance!

Still to early.
Cessna only has one flying prototype.
There is no mention of preliminary study on the BRS website.
Cessna has not made any mention of including it.

Thanks John. But what I'm looking for is your gut feeling, not
evidence of. The theory is that asked a straight forward question
the majority or average response of a large number of people is allot
more reliable than individual experts. From the book "The Wisdom of
Crowds" if your interested.

Yes. It seems to be a big factor in people choosing a new plane, such as in
the Cirrus.

Also, it will help people moving up from ultralights be comfortable with it.

Given that the BRS has long been available for the 150/152, 172 and 182, yet I
have never seen one, I would say that the market has spoken. (or as least is
speaking)

I don't know what the projected payload of the new Cessna LSA might be, but a
152 with full tanks is damn near a one passenger plane, given the weight of
today's typical pilot. (do you want fries with that?) Not much payload left to
waste on new systems.

My gut feeling is that cessna won't ever market an LSA.

NO. At least not as standard equipment.

My useless opinion:

Since LSA already exist with BRS either as an option or as standard
equipment, I think they will have to strongly consider it from a marketing
perspective. When all is said and done, though, I think they wont because
the bean-counters will win over the marketers.

I think that BRS's are a stupid addition to an aircraft on a number of
accounts.

they allow idiots to go to sleep on the consequences of their actions
and fly needlessly into danger in the belief that the brs will recover
from all mistakes.

aircraft structural engineering is a known methodology which can
produce structurally competent aircraft. There is absolutely no excuse
for bringing structurally doubtful ultralights into existence.

maintenance on aircraft is a known methodology and there is no excuse
for structural defects due to maintenance neglect.

deploying a BRS results in destruction of an aircraft.

deploying a BRS effectively removes the ability to control an aircraft
to a successful forced landing.

deploying a BRS can kill you. ask the people who discovered the
ultralighters that deployed their BRS for some unknown reason and both
died when it plonked them upside down into a field in australia

Cessna particularly have a history of engineering and producing
aircraft that can fly thousands of hours and survive for at least a
quarter century. Why would they ever need to put in a BRS???

I vote it will be an option, but not included.
