The BRS has been
demonstrated to work as low as 260 feet during the FAA certification
of the Cirrus. This could save you from a mid-air in the pattern or
that all time biggest killer. stall/spin turning final.

Are you sure? Does anybody know at what height most spin-ins from a
base/final happen?

My concern there is the glider is already pretty low, especially if
trying to stretch their glider/hold off the turn. And the pilot is
already likely far behind the aircraft and so may be some delay in
pulling the handle.

I'm not disputing the benefits of a BRS in other situations (including
collisions in the pattern) I'm just not sure they would necessarily be
that useful in the classic over rudder/under piloting stall/spin off a
turn from base to final.

I am hoping you buy a PowerFLARM as well as this BRS chute.
