spacesailor Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Yes . I got that one some time ago . Then was asked for more " hands on " information. That was from an administration officer, who only has ' big ' plane dealings. He wanted a " look-see ' at were he/they shouldn't tie a pull rope , W7hen dragging a ' wreak ' to safety. A little out of the loop nowadays, So, wondered if at an airshow , could an invite to SES / fireless, spacesailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would have to say yes, at least in the case of Cirrus. Will I fit a chute to my plane? No. The Preston Beach, WA, prang of a Aeropilot Legend deploying the chute may stir this debate a little more. Given the occupants thankfully walked away from it, and this maybe the very first RA-Aus chute deployment, let the debate rage on ! Supposedly (and surprisingly) it has been suggested the ATSB will investigate - at least I hope more details of the circumstances come out so that we can all learn from this incident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_galaga Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 Maybe they are investigating because it's a novel accident for Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thruster88 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Maybe they are investigating it because the vertical stabilizer broke off. I would want to know how that happened. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freizeitpilot Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Must have been one heck of a bird strike if that is what caused it. A pelican could do it perhaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF it’s smaller than a 737, they probably don’t want to know 🤢 Edited April 19 by jackc Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
