Jonzarno
Very emotive writing
But as you say nothing is guaranteed. I would rather pilots made that pull or not to pull based on solid flying skills and not on panic decisions because they are in a situation they should not be in.
Remember most pilots do not have that luxury choice! Engine failure and they are going down.
It is then up to their piloting skills whether they pull off a forced landing.
There is a slight simularity to the second engine in a light twin.
Again the second engine gives you more choices with more choices comes the option to make the wrong choice.
But Jonzarno who is being critical of the Cirrus or the chute? Certainly not me I have sung its praises but with a caveat.
I see pitfalls which you seem blinkered to acknowledge or discuss in what comes over as all in the garden is rosy attitude when its not! As for my comments of an idiot it reffered to pulling the chute because of water in the static system. If that is the case then I would seriously question the judgement of the pilot above. If not and as you claim he had a complete panel failure then Cirrus have a major problem.
