What is it about this subject that makes the "pull the chute" brigade so blinkered to any argument against it???
Nearly all of the posts by pilots who question the wisdom of using the BRS at the slightest hint of trouble have acknowledged that it is a worthwhile safety device. All they do is question its use in certain circumstances and speculate that it may encourage slightly more reckless flying? Those who own or fly BRS equipped aircraft seem to defend the system without question as if it's faultless?
I'm starting to think there's some brainwashing going on somewhere?
Oh and yes .... This is one of those late night after wine postings that is a bit tongue in cheek. No doubt the Cirrus brigade will jump on me yet again!
