Also, these answers to my remarks aren't really answers, they are opinions of Cirrus lovers. I bet it's gonna be more than 25.000$ to fix the 10 year mandatory BRS replacement. How many people know this ? Why is Cirrus hiding this ?
That first statement is pretty all inclusive. It's also more than a bit insulting. As an example, the fact that all newly certified aircraft have airframe life limits is a fact. It is not opinion. Cessna 182's, Ovations, the G36 etc. are grandfathered in.
As for the chute repack your estimate COULD be correct. The latest feedback from Cirrus is: expect parts to be $9385. Expect labor to be 30 - 40 hours. Whether that is accurate only time will tell. It is the best we have to go on right now. The labor is for a G1 airframe.
