Ballistic Emergency Parachutes .

I never heard anything being done .

Yes .

I got that one some time ago . Then was asked for more " hands on " information.

That was from an administration officer,  who only has ' big ' plane dealings.

He wanted a " look-see ' at were he/they shouldn't tie a pull rope ,

W7hen dragging a ' wreak ' to safety. 

A little out of the loop nowadays,  

So, wondered if at an airshow , could an invite to SES / fireless,

I agree with a lot of what you say there. To the question " are planes with parachutes really safer?" One would have to say yes, at least in the case of Cirrus. 

 

Will I fit a chute to my plane? No.

The Preston Beach, WA, prang of a Aeropilot Legend deploying the chute may stir this debate a little more.  Given the occupants thankfully walked away from it, and this maybe the very first RA-Aus chute deployment, let the debate rage on !

 

Supposedly (and surprisingly) it has been suggested the ATSB will investigate - at least I hope more details of the circumstances come out so that we can all learn from this incident.

Maybe they are investigating because it's a novel accident for Australia?

Maybe they are investigating it because the vertical stabilizer broke off. I would want to know how that happened.

Must have been one heck of a bird strike if that is what caused it. A pelican could do it perhaps.

IF it’s smaller than a 737, they probably don’t want to know 🤢
