For the rest of us operate a Cirrus whenever you can; I shall be pulling the chute so hopefully it is pretty much academic
Is deploying the parachute in the case of an engine failure in a Cirrus a recommended procedure? The Cirrus SR20 flight manual I have does not leave me with that impression, indeed, somewhat to the contrary...
As the manual refers to "expected ... loss of the airframe" in the case of parachute deployment, is it appropriate to turn a possibly good forced landing into a lost airframe situation?
Would not deploying a parachute attached to an otherwise flyable aircraft make it much more difficult to guide it to a suitable touchdown area? At the very least, in a populated place, does not the pilot maintain the moral responsibility to guide the the striken aircraft to an area where the least possible injury and damage to those on the ground, would be the result?
