Lancaster California: Another Fatal Cirrus Crash
http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la...nes-california
January 10, 2006 latimes.com : California Print 2 Killed in Lancaster Plane Crash Flight instructor and student were practicing takeoffs and landings in craft with a safety chute. By Jill Leovy, Times Staff Writer A flying instructor and his student were killed Monday when a small plane equipped with a safety parachute crashed northeast of Gen. William J. Fox Airfield in Lancaster. The two men, who authorities did not identify pending notification of relatives, were practicing takeoffs and landings just before their Cirrus SR20 aircraft went down at 1:42 p.m. in what Los Angeles County Sheriff's Lt. William Hindman called "open desert" near Avenue F and 40th Street West. The plane was registered to Todd Olson of Henderson, Nev., according to the Federal Aviation Administration. Olson could not be reached for comment... |

Just like Richard Collins says. The chute is a great way to make the
wife feel safer about flying but most accidents happen too close to the ground to make a real difference. -Robert |

It would seem that a forced landing in the desert would cause little damage; after all gliders do it routinely. As the aircraft was on final approach at the time, an unrecoverable stall/spin may have been a factor. Perhaps the distraction of attempted 'chute deployment was also a factor in this mishap? At any rate, I would expect seat-belt harness to have precluded substantial injury in a forced landing in the desert. How many Cirrus crashes is the NTSB concurrently investigating now? |

42 Cirrus aircraft accidents in five years.
14 in 2005. 11 of 14 were model 22's, of of which was a G2. 3 of 14 were model 20's. 4 of 14 flights were fatal. |

How does it compare with othe aircraft once normalized? Jose -- Money: what you need when you run out of brains. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

Hmmm, I don't see any indication of a 'forced landing'. Looks like a crash.
Anyway, that doesn't look like routine glider off-field landing country. That's, "oh ****" chew up your glider country. But no matter.

How does this compare with the total # of GA accidents in 2005? I'd also like to see some data on the experience of the pilots of these planes to see if we're once again putting high performance planes in the hands of inexperienced pilots and wishing them luck.... |
