![]() I doubt there's any more of them crashing than Pipers or Cessnas. You're probably right. But the point is, this is not supposed to happen to Cirrus airplanes! Because as soon as a pilot gets into trouble he has the option to pull the chute and save the day. So, if Cirrus and Cessnas have the same accident rates, it would be proof that the parachute "rescue" system basically does not work or in other words does not provide extra safety in real terms. It's like the section of the road where a pedestrian had been killed jaywalking. A crossing with lights markings etc. was instituted and the number of accidents rose immediately. That's because people crossing were not careful anymore as they were when jaywalking. Gerd |
