But then the flight manual should be less coy about the use of the chute! I am not sure about the manufacturer being scared of recommending the chute!
They can happily detail a forced landing with the addendum of if all looks bad CONSIDER the use of the chute.
Surely if your figures of 20% Likelyhood of death are true with 100% success with the chute the manufacturers are being negligent in detailing and recommending a forced landing?
Please supply a link to the 20% Fatlity rate in forced landings?
I know in the jet I fly we go to the manufacters Emergency checklist or flight manual for every emergency or performance detail.
I find it hard to understand why Cirrus are different and advice comes from outside bodies.
You maybe right
