Give him a break. It turned out that he had a brain tumor that he was
unaware of. Becoming unconscious under IFR conditions seems a
perfectly legitimate use of the chute. He left the engine running and
used it to avoid coming down in a tank farm.
EMR turned him loose because he was functional.
One of the other Cirrus cases was an aileron malfunction (missing hinge
or something). I'd hate to try a recovery in my arrow with an aileron
flapping in the wind.
