Nothing macho about it at all and those comments were not directed at you!
The fact is I would not in all situations pull the chute when I have a fully serviceable aircraft albeit without an engine
in my hands!
In most circumstances I would use the skills I was taught to use and force land not pull the chute.
If as Cirrus recommend a forcelanding is unadvisable due terrain or up in MJ land I would pull the chute.
But remember the start of the thread was about a so called instrument pilot who was unable to fly a basic procedure like flying a runway heading and then looses it in what should have been a standard rate turn.
I question some pilots not being up to it? This Guy was not does that make me macho ? If so proud to be Macho
