Fuji you and 007H may be totally correct as I have said this is new ground and goes against conventional thinking and pilot training!
That does not mean you or 007H are wrong as your arguments are convincing!
But regardless without support from
The manufacturer and the CAA we are left in uncharted waters!
The Cirrus SOP should read " in event of engine failure we recommend in most circumstances that the chute is deployed! Only if the pilot is over a secure landing site and very confident of his abilities should a forced landing be contemplated. In
Most circumstances Cirrus recommend an immediate deployment of the chute regarding engine failure ".
Surely you must see that it is not me you need to convince but the CAA and Cirrus who have better access to relevant statistics.
It is very raw of you to accuse me of encouraging pilots not to use the chute when all inam
Doing is stating the CAA and Cirrus position !
Btw you are convincing me slowly : )
