Firstly I am not knocking the Cirrus or chute system as I think it is an amazing development in light single GA aircraft.
I hope others follow suit and also build in such a system to their aircraft as I feel it does and can save lives in what can be a very cruel passion if things go wrong.
I have just two concerns one that pilots maybe lulled into situations above their or the aircraft limits.
Two that priority should still be piloting skills and abilities with this system complimenting those skills and abilities not covering the lack of skills and abilities.
Apart from that I am convinced of the chutes reliability and potential to save lives.
