Cessna BRS

Q: Will the new Cessna LSA have a factory installed ballistic recovery
parachute option? Yes or No.

Let me know your gut feeling. I want to see if group intelligence
theory works. Thanks in advance!

Still to early.
Cessna only has one flying prototype.
There is no mention of preliminary study on the BRS website.
Cessna has not made any mention of including it.

Thanks John. But what I'm looking for is your gut feeling, not
evidence of. The theory is that asked a straight forward question
the majority or average response of a large number of people is allot
more reliable than individual experts. From the book "The Wisdom of
Crowds" if your interested.

Like the majority that once believed the Earth was flat and that Poseiden
ruled the seas?

Cessna will not install a BRS on any of their aircraft. Surprisingly, it
increases liabity issues instead of diminishing them.

I would have to agree with that too.

Although a BRS can be a life saver, it is also something that can fail or be
misused. I think still lessons to be learned about their use and
installation before they will be considered an undisputable advantage, and a
smart aircraft producer would be well advised to keep it optional.

However, the Cirrus is actually outselling Cessna and the wogs say it is
because of the chute aboard. I suspect Cessna is going to start seriously
looking at putting parachutes on all of their single engine airplanes except
perhaps the Caravan! :-)

I suspect that is has more to do with the fact that the Cirrus is fast, and
new, and sorta sexy without being complicated to fly.

You can already put a BRS on a 152 or 172 for a lot less money than it
would cost you to buy a new Cirrus, and Cessna BRS STCs ain't exactly flying
off of the shelves.

Given that the BRS has long been available for the 150/152, 172 and 182, yet I
have never seen one, I would say that the market has spoken. (or as least is
speaking)

I don't know what the projected payload of the new Cessna LSA might be, but a
152 with full tanks is damn near a one passenger plane, given the weight of
today's typical pilot. (do you want fries with that?) Not much payload left to
waste on new systems.

Yes. It seems to be a big factor in people choosing a new plane, such as in
the Cirrus.

Also, it will help people moving up from ultralights be comfortable with it.

NO. At least not as standard equipment.
