First Ever: Wild Chute Deployment as Cirrus Jet Goes Down in Florida
A Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet went down while on arrival to Kissimmee, Florida, late last week. All three aboard survived the incident with minor injuries. Details are still emerging, but preliminary reports indicate that the single-engine jet was inbound for Kissimmee when it encountered severe turbulence and heavy rain as it descended. The pilot at some point chose to deploy the whole-airplane parachute system (installed at the factory in every Cirrus aircraft). (www.planeandpilotmag.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
"oh no..rain and turbulence: red handle time"
It appears to have been a SMASHING success.
What a putz!!! My guessing no real experience and too much money. Certainly bad decision making
I thought the use of "wild" in the headline meant that the chute deployed in flight spontaneously. This is a completely different situation.
Any landing you can walk away from...
More money than brains..............
