Yes, I know but I also know what Ilan said after everything settled down and that he was later able to go skiing (or was it snowboarding). His more serious issue was the golf ball sized brain tumor. It was cut out and Ilan eventually got his medical back but unfortunately the tumor came back.

$50 an hour is what we charge to use the airplane! Double the cost for a parachute of questionable value. What a good idea. If you really want peace of mind, one the ground you should stay. Other than that you takes your chances.

Did he survive the second tumor?

Surprising. Often tumors resurface by acquiring resistance to the therapies used to control them in the first place.

Statistics say no such thing.

Cost/benefit analysis. It a pilot's personal decision as to the value of the benefit and no-one can argue with his personal decision (except his wife, of course). The cost is relative to disposible income. So I have no problem with a pilot that can afford a BRS and has one.
edit: just as I have no problem with a pilot that can afford a P-51 and has one.
Just that one pilot I would like to be very good friends with and the other, sure, why not.

Don't have the stats and too lazy to look up, but I swear I read that the SR22 has one of the worst fatal accidents per hrs flown records, while diamond has one of the best.
Yes, but I don't recall him ever getting his medical back.
Diamond has an exceptionally good record. Cirrus is there with Mooney and Bonanza. GA statistics can be misleading. If you remove professionally flown GA (jets, etc.) then Cirrus is about average. The C172 is better but then the first 50 hours a pilot flies are the safest of his career (see The Killing Zone) and a lot of truing is done in the 172 i.e. different mission. Something I keep pointing out is Flightaware data. Take a look over several days and you will see why you hear so many Cirrus aircraft when flying in the system. There are a lot of them on IFR flight plans.

Wait, I post when I fly. But not in the third person. You are on my FB yes?

Yes however you dont post it in this format: "Follow MossY today as he flies a <insert plane here> with <insert name here> and do <insert task here> and <insert secondary task here> and then heads back to <insert airport name here>"
No sir, the safety value is unquestionable, whether you feel that option is worth your money is up to you. If what you value most is money that's going to have to be a consideration. Think of it this way, $1,500 a year is the premium I pay for 100hrs of having an extra engine. You buy a similar level of survival options.

I know you were talking about Inverted, but I also know MossYs typical status' and share his frustration. Your flying posts are entertaining and interesting, MossYs are obnoxious.
I'm pretty sure he did the voice for this video too.

Wow, thank you. I looked and I hadn't posted since March so I added some wx photos from the XC to explain why I chose to go under the clouds rather than over.

I KNEW it couldn't just me who thought that!!
Not quite as swishy as the "Honey Badger" narrator (known only as "Randall"), but equally obnoxious.
I would love to have Randall overdub a MossY video... that would be fantastic.

Steingar posts in the third person on occasion. Steingar understands why Joe Biden refers to himself in the third person. Steingar thinks it's actually a bit of fun. Unlike Joe Biden, Steingar has the good sense not to do it all the time.
If the safety value were unquestionable, no BRS-equipped aircraft would have ever killed it's pilot or passengers. Since folks have died in such aircraft, I question the parachute's utility.
