I didn't want to start a new topic as this one is all about the SR22 and BRS:

One down today and thanks to BRS the two pax and a dog walked away from this 'landing'.

It's a petty (for the plane) they didn't make it to the smaller uncontrolled GA airfields right underneath the flightpath when trouble started at FL200. Instead they opted to divert to Brussels but it seems they where vectored for a looooong ILS approach, and came down 20 miles short. With hindsight, this option certainly worked for the occupants; the GA field alternative option, unfamiliar area with 1800-2000ft AGL broken ceiling & 6 nm vis., maybe nobody manning the A/G radio, etc. did not guarantee a safe (plane&pax) outcome either.
