The POH says the aircraft should level around 8 seconds after chute deployment, and the video suggests it worked as advertised
I disagree here and watching again would say 20 seconds before properly level and I think not as advertised.

Several factors, this was a new G5 that has a bigger chute due to extra payload, also not sure if C&G effected anything with extra ferry tanks, also looked as if plane was slowed down quite substantially that may effect the energy to inflate the chute.

While a great outcome I would Guess Cirrus / BRS will want to understand why not fully level sooner.

On the massive plus side No person has died when the CAPS system deployed above 1000 feet above ground and below Vne airspeed of 200 knots indicated.
