In terms of when I am flying a Cirrus I have a pre determined decision already made that it is not an option I will take however good the field looks. Whatever happens in the event of an off airport landing required it will be at 17 knots vertically for better or worse.
The above is a quote from 007Helicopter who states he will not consider a forced landing only the chute in any circumstances and this is an idea doing the rounds!
Pace i dont think any serious person is suggesting use the chute in every circumstance. If there is a socking great field in front of you mown to better than wimbelon standards you would hardly reach for the handle.
007Helicopter and others maybe correct but this is way away from conventional teaching and procedures for engine failure and if it is to be used in all scenarios the idea and new training needs to be endorsed by the CAA or Cirrus
You are wanting cirrus to give guidance they could never give.
Of course they can give guidance! If I get a problem in the Jet I fly i go instantly to the emergency handbook or the manual! If Cessna can do it with their Citation how come Cirrus cannot?
