Cirrus
...that would be the type that now has a fatal accident rate half that of any comparable type

But I guess it is so much better to punish pilots
and their passengers with a death sentence even though a aircraft parachute could have saved everybody

I would suggest that your statement is a significant misrepresentation of the facts. The program teaches pilots to
consider using the CAP's system in various scenarios. It is IMO the best type training program out their because it is structured around typical flight profiles, requires the pilot practice real world decision making skills and is evidence based.
