Perhaps he was too low, or maybe he thought he could make an emergency landing safely. Guess we will have to wait for more details. Or he was working on the problem and neglected to actually fly the airplane. That was the story behind some airline crash in Florida, if memory serves. But, as you say, we don't know enough to do more than guess wildly. I suppose I should go with that theme and say it was a problem getting the plane into the alien spaceship's docking bay. Ah, then following Usenet protocol I should flame you, questioning your parentage and your personal habits as well as your politics, and say that it was obviously an Illuminati plot. Don't forget that one of you will have to mention Hitler & the Nazis and/or take a swipe at G.W. Bush/the evil liberals [delete as appropriate] to make it a real Usenet argument!

"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message ink.net... "Morgans" wrote in message ... Point is, the parachute failed to save the bacon. Was the parachute activated? Irrelevant, IMHO, as to the subject of this thread. If the pilot is too proud to pull it, the safety feature of the parachute means nothing. Just like seatbelts. If you don't use them, they don't have a chance of working. -- Jim in NC |

"Thomas Borchert" wrote in message ... Capt.Doug, regarding your subject line: The parachute is not meant to do that. The pilot is. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) That explains why so many people have died in Cirrus aircraft. Thanks for the explanation. Is the parachute for show? |

om... "Thomas Borchert" wrote in message ... Capt.Doug, regarding your subject line: The parachute is not meant to do that. The pilot is. That explains why so many people have died in Cirrus aircraft. Thanks for the explanation. Is the parachute for show? Does anyone have any hours flown / accident stats? Is there any particular problem with Cirrus that makes it less safe than any other like GA plane? moo |

C,
Thomas has a severe denial problem with the safety record of the Cirrus. That's because of me knowing Paul. Oh, no, sorry, wrong group. ;-) -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Hectop,
11 fatal accidents involving Cirrus SR-20/22 aircraft in last 4 years in the US alone... And how many total NTSB reports during that time? And what percentage would then rate your statement of "NTSB database is full of them SR-20/22's..."? See what I mean? -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Jack,
I hate it when people back statements up with data. He didn't. That's hardly "NTSB database is full of them SR-20/22's" by ANY standard. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Morgans,
Point is, the parachute failed to save the bacon. You know, the Hobbs meter failed to do that, too. There's no logic in your statement. Was it pulled? Did the pilot even think of pulling it? -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
