Filing Flight Plan
I guess I am too "old school" to ever get behind the idea of a parachute recovery system but at the same time I do appreciate Cirrus' other advances. In particular, I like its fixed landing gear yet fast speed.
Now that Mooney, Beechcraft an Commander have faded, the choices for SEL high performance aircraft are slim.
What is Cirrus produced a plane without the chute? I'll bet the useful load would increase a bunch. They could also lower the price.
The "no chute" option might improve Cirrus' image and its appeal to old farts like me...
What do folks think?
