I have been reading a lot about the safety benefit of the Red Handle but I am always interested in costs of things. So I did a quick and dirty analysis, Cirrus has sold about 6000 airplanes over the past 16 years. There is an installed cost of this system which I guessed at about $25,000, if somebody has an actual number I will recalculate. I also calculated the annual cost of the repack with an annual sales rate of 375/year (6000/16 simplified yes, but I can't find actual yearly numbers) and added a cost of $800/year for repacking costs, airplanes 16 years old would have $12,800 of costs incurred with repacking since new. Airplanes only 1 year old would only have $800 worth of cost. The installed cost of all of these parachutes is about $150 million and a total annualized cost of about $36 million for the repack since production began. Again these are simplified numbers and airplanes are scrapped, etc. but not enough that it will make much difference. The total cost is about $186 million. The internet of things tells me that 104 lives have been saved. If you divide the $186 million by 104 you get a per lives saved cost of $1,788,461. I was going to put some perspective on the value of life valuations, but that got real messy so I will just let the POA experts figure it out.
