G and the engineering types
No other major manufacturers have yet followed suit and offered the chute as standard fit in their machines.
Obviously there are aircraft which would suit such a fit while others would be more problematic or even impossible.
I presume low wing composites would be better candidates for a standard chute fitment than say the all metal high wing 172?
Do other manufacturers have plans to release their own version of chuted aircraft?
421C you make a valid point re spin recovery yet that does not mean that those aircraft including twins will not recover from a spin!
The fact is that pilots are no longer trained for spin recovery or for other recovery situations so maybe we need more pilot assist methods to compensate for partially trained pilots ???
