Not to pick on Dan personally but the "If I get into trouble I'll pull the
lever" thing has just got to be part of the reason why Cirrus CFIT rates are so high. Yeah it's great to have the option when your engine quits over the mountains at night or a wing snaps off, but there are plenty of ways to kill yourself that the 'chute won't do anything to prevent. -cwk. "Dan Thompson" wrote in message gy.com... The nice thing about a Cirrus is also you could always (i.e., once) pop the chute if the TKS couldn't keep up. I would think this would be comforting when choosing to fly through a what was believed to be little known ice that the TKS system should be able to easily handle, just in case you found it is was more ice than anyone would have expected and you ran out of other options. I think the TKS/chute combo would allow a lot of flights that would keep me on the ground otherwise. |
