Hello all.
My EAA e-Hotline had a story about a Cirrus being saved by it's CAPS
system (Cirrus Airframe Parachute System). Apparently the left aileron
decided to take a different course than the remainder of the aircraft.
The pilot was unable to control the aircraft and deployed the system.
They touched down safely.
Have any Europa aircraft been fitted with BRS systems?
