The Cirrus private jet. Also known as the Vision SF50 jet, is a single-engine very light jet designed and produced by Cirrus. This is a single pilot jet that can carry up to 7 people and travel a decent distance.
Powered by a Williams FJ33 turbofan, the all-carbon fiber, low-wing, seven-seat Vision SF50 is pressurized, cruises at 300 knots (345 mph) and has a range of 1,200 nautical miles.
Cirrus private jet is also well equpped with a Garmin avionics panel with auto-land and has a whole-airframe ballistic parachute.
Last month a Cirrus private jet went down in Indiana, but the sole pilot on board was safe due to the ballistic parachute that guided the airplane down. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
As an SR22 owner, I am clearly a BIG fan of BRS. I also fly other aircraft without CAPS. CAPS does not make the pilot. As you said, It is simply another option in the toolbox. I have never once taken a flights because I have CAPs. I will also say, when the defecation hits the rotation and you have a change of underwear moment, having EVERY possible option is truly life altering. I had an 'almost CAPS' moment taking off, at night, with my wife, over the water, when I thought I had a massive control failure. Before pulling (and pulling DID cross my mind), I worked the problem as trained, stayed safe, gained control and returned to the field .. all in under 90 seconds. CAPS would be justified, BUT not needed in my specific case. If I was unable to regain control, I was ready to pull. Simple as that. I have no shame saying the original problem was pilot induced (most issues are!), but hindsight is 20/20 .. at the FBO with coffee and cookies. I am really glad I did not have to pull. I am also grateful that CAP was an option if needed so my wife and I would walk away had no other option been available.. I regularly ask the anti-BRS folks if they fly with weather, Foreflight, GPS, dual radio, dual mags, extra fuel, etc. Why? They must not be a real pilots (using their own logic). Aviation is always an exercise in managing risk. CAPS is just another tool in the toolbox for that, and we need to focus on saving lives versus pride.
This gentleman has such a calm wonderful voice I could listen to him all day
Everyone can afford a parachute once a life or death situation comes around
i am pro-chute with single engine - all planes really nice to have an alternative when your engine quits...2 options are wayyyyyy better than 1.
I opted for a chute in the Bristell I purchased in 2020 for two reasons. It helped my wife feel more comfortable flying with me and my home airport, as well as destinations, are in the Smoky Mountains with few, if any, open/flat fields for emergency landings.
Good idea
I am not a pilot but I am considering becoming one, to me a parachute is a no brainer, it just makes sence, I think they should be mandatory just like in cars, but that's just me
I`m a private pilot and hear you regarding the parachute. *But parachute for me as a professional is a blessing *AND* a curse. I got mixed feelings.*
- I`m old school an I feel like parachute will lead to bad habits with younger pilots. *PLEASE HEAR ME OUT, befo you call me crazy*
- *Instead of developing skills to land a plane, without engine, younger pilots will just pull parachute.*
- *Instead of developing skills on how to recover an aircraft out of a tailspin, younger pilots will just go the easy way an pull the parachute.*
- *Instead of developing skills to fly level stable with the right speed and the right angle, younger pilots wont bother learning how to get out of a stalled aircraft and they will just pull the parachute.*
THAT IS MY FEAR WITH THE NEW PARACHUTE TREND. But hey... what do I know.
@@manuelalejandro8972In some planes parachutes make sense. The problem is there are so many companies that would not be able to put it on their existing designs and it would greatly hurt the GA industry and would probably put companies out of business.
Thank You, Amen
Most airplane crashes are caused by pilot error and not mechanical failure. If your airplane is well maintained, the chances of having mechanical failures are low. I’m pro parachute too, but the best way to reduce your chances of a crash is to get good training and to stay current. When I say training, I don’t just mean learning how to use the parachute. I’m talking about learning how to avoid emergency situations in the first place and how to recover from emergency situations. I do believe that you should get a parachute if you have the option to do so. There is no such thing as being too safe or having too many safety features.
I fully agree, however, I would like to add the point that at a certain altitude, and airspeed, in stall conditions, exactly the scenario described, a chute is exactly what could keep another family with their loved one, instead of having a dead dad as I do.

Amen. Three things that are important about flying. Safety safety safety. Well, and fly the plane.
I was enlisted Air Force for 20 years and always dreamt of getting my pilots license - but I never seemed to have the money or time to invest in the hobby. Now I'm in my 50s and teach high school - so I'm still too poor to fly, but at least I can live vicariously through videos.
Are the kids as bad as they say?
Absolutely a great feature.
One reason why I want to invest in a chute. Aerobatic flying for the win 😆.
Great aircraft. I've only flown in the VisionJet twice, but I felt incredibly safe with the parachute system and auto-return feature. Still have to watch crosswinds because it's a light aircraft, but man that thing cooks with speed/climb and also fairly spacious. I'm a fan.
Amen to what you said..
Awesome video. Thank you for this video.
Great video.
You absolutely want to ballistic parachute. I am a tow pilot, towing hang gliders, and sale planes and I have seen several parachute deployments that saved lives.
Thnk god he survived. I can't wait to attend tha US aviation expo @ KTTA this April & get a tour of Cirrus. Hope to see u there as well. Enjoy yur weekend. #salute my gud brotha!!!!!
Emergency parachutes are the PERFECT product to make!
Why?
Because if it fails, you can't complain.
And if it works, you will never stop singing its praises!
Ya, they work but destroy the plane in the process. It totals the aircraft, breaking wings off, and crushing the fuselage. Rather than gliding down and landing on a road or field.
@@RifullOfTheWestYou don’t pop the chute if you have sufficient speed and altitude to glide. It’s a last ditch safety measure to save your life, not your plane.
Your humble opinion is absolutely correct. You can’t buy a car without an air bag, thus all planes should be required to have a parachute.
I really don't get why folks would ever hate on a parachute for a simple and cheap layer of safety.
Natural selection. Let them
Its not hating... I have discovered the more parachute, the worse pilots get into aircrafts. And that is a huge problem for the industry.

The same reason morons hate seat belts.
Pride. Too many folks say, "real pilots fly their planes to the crash site". That's great and all...but when the crash site is a dense forest that leads to your death, I'd pick pulling a parachute and living over flying into trees at 70+ knots. Living is more important than your ego.
@@TailHeavyProductions I've got to agree. As a man who has actually crashed into trees, and lived, I would have appreciated a chute. (Ultralight aircraft)
I have a 172 with Air Plains 180 and have a BRS 172 parachute for a last resort/night flight or structural failure type situation.
Exactly, apparently engine out is part of the deal buying one.
Many new students will only consider the SR22 because of the caps.
I 100% agree with this I don't care what anybody says if you can get a parachute with ur plane get it. It could save ur life if ur wing breaks off your dead without it
Very Nice Bro! Get Good People/Pilots!
Thank you for sharing this! When will we get parachute systems for larger aircraft?
I own a Cirrus SR 22 and I’ll tell you, you wouldn’t find me in the sky single engine piston at night unless I had the parachute option at my disposal.
Absolutely.
Parachute is good as long as it isn't used to make up for bad or panicked pilot. I would definitely want to see some training in using one before I fly with the option.
Things like planes initial problem, altitude, terrain have to be considered before using it.
If you pop the chute over water when you had the ability to glide over ground would cause greater problems.
hI mOJO, I am totally i line with your way of thinking, and whenever I can, I give myself and people I embarqued with me a second to survive...
I would opt for one
My only issue with the chute is not having any steering. There are a lot of powerlines down there. I want to be able to avoid them! (I'm a retired power line man so maybe I think more about that...)
Over all the chute is just an additional layer of safety. I would just be cautious when to use it.
Obviously a midair collision is a fantastic example of how a chute is the last best option.
As a frequent flier since the early sixties, I have, since the space capsules and the shuttles, wondered and wondered why the 'chute wasn't a fixed safety feature on aircraft. It was therefore with some incredulity that I came across the Cirrus and its progressive adoption and adaptation. I don't think it's a debatable issue, whether or not safety 'chutes should be a mandatory part of an aircraft and very much appreciate the views of professionals below and in the video. What the industry needs to get on with is how to improve the facility, pretty much like the auto industry has. Automatic - under what conditions - sensors etc. etc. It's the best news the airlines can offer passengers, who would, I am sure, happily give away a few kilos of luggage weight and perhaps even accept a small reduction of seats for the almost guaranteed safety of never having to end up in a crash. -
I'm a fan. As an experimental builder I plan on adding a parachute at some point.
Meaning after you've flown it for a while?
@@EJWash57 still building
You're an asset to us pilots. Thanks
I think I heard that the visionjet experienced control problems which is where you are out of options. I'm certainly also a believer in parachutes, I have a crude LSA so I just bought a personal reserve chute that weighs 1.5kg so I can jump out. Handy in a pinch. I don't like the lines in the skin of the plane though, they should just be attached where they come out, the plane doesn't have to come down level, it's not a luxury ride where you are served caviar, it just has to step between you and death. It could even be extremely uncomfortable if that was advantageous to the design. Nose hanging 45 degrees down is perfectly fine, might even soften the impact. Typically the planes don't survive the landing but a light weight single piece carbon bird could well handle it which is a nice feature, not to have to scrap an expensive plane. Of course flawless operation is preferable. Water tight hull is also nice in an ocean landing. In a frigid atlantic, it's the difference between comfy bobbing and certain death. Two engines are handy two.
For me it's safety first! Twin engines and a parachute for me is crucial. I have a DA 62 and it's converted to carry 4 people in total only and I never surpassed 70% of total carry weight ever.
Trevor Jacob has entered the chat.....
Seriously though, for certain types of incidents, I can definitely see the benefit of having a parachute. Things like an engine out on takeoff, at extremely low altitude, in a single engine aircraft; complete failure of all control surfaces, a midair collision, or pilot incapacitation could all benefit from a BRS. That being said, a parachute will never replace a very high standard of pilot training and proficiency.
Well said, Great video! Thank you.
When I went for my first introductory flight in an Aerotrek A240. We went through the check list and the last item was to pull the parachute lockout pin … my instructor said something to the effect of “this is so if another plane hits us and we survive that, we pull the parachute so we can hopefully survive hitting the ground!” We both laughed … but I loved the idea of a parachute on the plane and it was actually one of the things that made me more comfortable about considering learning to fly, that there were planes that had a back up/one last option if all else fails :)
I’m looking at getting into GA and getting my pilots license soon. When I do, it will be a brand new Cirrus SR22T. I like the option of having a parachute! You don’t have to use it in every emergency but there are some where you would. Why have less safety and preparedness?
Now days you have other places with this option. Sling. Bristell. TL Ultralight. The Spark has my attention right now. Like a two seater Cirrus.
Isn’t it crazy that there’s this amazing option for a parachute, but rather than spend extra fuel and air speed, we trust the man made engine. I think the advice should be, if you can’t afford it, hold off until you can, it will save you and your passengers.
Yes for para! They have to use in the big airplane too for passengers safe!
Awesome Video! Thx.
man i did not even know there were parachutes for airplanes and i am an airplane FANATIC. of COURSE pro-parachute! that is such a no-brainer. i can't believe it's a point of discussion.
Cirrus 141 failures where the parachute was deployed since 2002.
Is cirrus a good manufacturer?
It's like seatbelts in a car or truck I rather have and not need than need and not have
CAPs saved my life last weekend
8000 HR CFI
Wow - any more details?
@@dermick C-FTMB
Engine lost all oil through a turbo and failed completely (seized)
Couldn’t glide to a runway and all fields were corn
@@davidshakespeare9767 Congratulations on a successful pull! I sure hope we see more and more aircraft with this critical safety feature. I'd love to have a whole-frame parachute on my RV-8.
Ultralights and hang gliders is where BRS really got their start. Cirrus saw this and did the heavy lifting of certifying it as part of a 3,000 lb aircraft.
you mean experimental??? ultralights and hang gliders both don't require chutes... they are so light and land softer than a chute as is lol
That cirrus midair at KAPA in Colorado occurred below pattern altitude, they were turning to final when that occurred, and still executed the BRS landing safely. Putting one in my RV-10. If the useful load is the issue, you need a bigger airplane. Building the 10 for the 2 of us and pups. Not worried about the extra 85 lbs for my model in the baggage area. Will actually help address the nose heavy default design.
Personally if there is an option to up the safety of the aircraft and all on board then I'm taking that option
Mostly agree. Cost is certainly a component in that “option” for most of us.
Having a parachute can only add value to the aircraft. It gives you another option, might not always be the best, but another option nonetheless. Where it becomes not so great is when you use the parachute as a crutch against solving other more serious issues like spin and stall characteristics of the plane.
They had Parachutes on UL Aircraft before!
I’m not a pilot but I’ve been up in a small plane a few times years ago.
I loved the experience but I’ve never forgotten how vulnerable I felt.
Good video, Mike, but I’m kinda disappointed that you didn’t tell me how much the chutes weigh.
let me ask you some questions... which one is good quaitly and safe in cirrus jet or da62?
2:12 Before Cirrus they were and are standard in ultra lights, at least in Europe.
Parachute is essential in case of engine failure over places you can’t glide land like open bodies of water, mountains or Forrest, heavy traffic areas
Not me. I got no pride about parachutes. lol Ill gladly take a plane with them.
It is always have more than one option to save your life other people life to thank you
I am exploring buying a plane. For me the parachute is a Must. I feel like it makes all the sense in the world to have one more safety option. Thanks for the video Mike. Love your channel(s).
so what is the specific use case where the old methods dont quite reach the level you need?
I'm with you Mike I'd have a parachute too!
To me it's a common Sense answer it would not be logical to fly without a chute. But some people are very set in their ways and you can't convince them otherwise.
I just wear a parachute and prepared to jump out.
😂
don't forget a fire extinguisher and a selfie stick
I would like to have a second life parachute card !
The sr22 genuinely needs the chute. but a chute is a piece of security that I would gladly sacrifice useful load for. I totally respect pilots who aren't willing go compromise their useful loads..that's what she said
Why are these cirrus constantly falling out of the sky is the question
Do your homework on the accidents to find out.
@@XX-166 cliff notes it for us plebes, pilot error or mechanical fault?
They don’t. In fact, the Cirrus has the second best safety record in general aviation just after the Diamond DA40. The reason you think this happens so often is they sell a lot of planes and the chute makes interesting news video.
What are some of the least expensive aircraft with chute options? I know of, for example: JBM, Bristell, Sling, all $350k+ aircraft.
@@halvanhercke3321 I was thinking this to be the case.
You get a gun and hope you never need to use it. This is the exact same argument with chutes. If I get to build an RV 10 in the future, I will definitely be buying and installing a chute.
Only my opinion… A parachute isn’t something that should be an option if someone can afford it. They should be integral to every aircraft, even large airliners! This technology has been around since the 1950’s and has only improved. Aircraft frames, engines and power should be adjusted to incorporate these parachute systems so as to not affect load rating. Anyhoo, just my opinion… Love your channel Mojo!!!
Good info and fully agree with you.
It is better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it.
How much does the parachute add in weight?
Parachutes should be installed on all aircraft
As a full time skydiver for 28 years I gotta say, "Parachutes Work and The Ground Hurts". just 99 more and you can get your basic A Licenses lol....
in earlier days of aviation pilots had parachute behind their backs. in case of emergency the pilot supposed to open cockpit canopy and jump out safely
As long as the parachute isn’t used as a replacement for proper training so pilot’s don’t get into stall conditions. Poor training and pulling the chute instead is going to damage the plane and insurance costs are already high.
Our 150L doesn’t have one considered it though
When air bags in car are required. So are parachutes for plane. Whoever is not in favour of parachutes for plane will certainly wish for parachute when he is in and crash becomes inevitable. Parachute should be standard fitment like car airbag.
they have had 140 failure where the parachute was deployed since 2002.
Not having a parachute when it’s available, makes no sense. I have a GRS in my Pipistrel, deployment can be as low as around 300ft. Peace of mind as a last resort esp. If there is a structural failure (mid-air, iced frame) or if the pilot is incapacitated or disoriented etc. Weight added is minimal. What’s your/PAX life worth?
What is your pilot rating and logs?
Once a shoot deployed.. does the airplane a complete write off ?orccould they be rebuilt for service
all commercial airlines should have it and as a passenger i would pay more for a flight if its a cost thing. Safety over anything . So overdue , it just shows profit over anything for them companies
Jet is so underpowered
After the jet stalls, isn’t it possible to nose the plane over to regain gliding speed, and to glide to a landings area?……..or do these jets just fall down like a brink?
very cool. I think they are weird airplanes, but that's a good use of that tool. I think a parachute is good, but training is most important. Let's Go!
They have their roles. Not only private rich owners but some commercial applications as well. I think we'll see improvements made over the years to come. I like the parachute and the available return to home function, but a single engine jet sounds like a bad idea overall.
I dont know who in their right mind would fly that nurf football looking jet.
Pilots don't hate the idea of a parachute they hate the idea of using parachutes in cases were it was unnecessary. Pilots save lives, good pilots, The parachutes should be your last option but people are using them as the first option which puts lives at risk. Once you pull that shut you lose all control of where that plane lands. That can be very dangerous.
should be paraglider then. not parachute
Anyone know of charter/private companies that use planes with chutes? I’m interested in hiring pilots to fly me but only if I can find a company that offers a chute
That vision jet looked like he was at a pretty good altitude. But I know video can be deceiving. And as far as the useful load, what about that time when you do need that? You can't just take the parachute off. If somebody wants a chute that's fine. But maybe make it an option for everyone else.
That would be my luck, land right in the only body of water nearby
My only issue with parachutes is the lack of control. When flying a light plane, you assume the risk, by popping a chute, you transfer that risk to innocents below.
I think an aircraft floating to the ground is a much lower risk to innocents on the ground than an aircraft hitting the ground at 100 mph or more. 🙄
you can add small thrusters like in Space capsule also one at the bottom to reduce the impact of touch down
Human errors are inevitable, we need cyborg pilots designed by Gucci , and made by Boston Scientific to pilot slow brain civilians crafts
The parachute works… there are hundreds of lives saved over the years to prove it. Tons of pilots poo-poo it and laugh at cirrus pilots behind their backs for not being “real pilots”, but they save lives. They are incredibly expensive and add greatly to costs of ownership, but how much is your life worth?
I personally don’t fly a cirrus, but I would absolutely love to have the option in the tool box. It’s greatly preferable for a water landing, and it would certainly give me more confidence to make night flights.
I'd still rather take my chances gliding down, maybe if I lose an actual wing I'll pull the chute.
think of the arrogance of "not wanting a parachute"
I've been watching reports about this incident. Why is the engine askew? From the pilots reports there is a possibility of the engine breaking loose causing the accident.
Cheapest life insurance ever!
Well looks like cirrus is off my list of aircraft to get if I win the lottery.
Why?
Ego
Here’s the thing: JET ENGINES DON’T SPUTTER. PERIOD. Airplanes don’t ‘nose up’ when they lose power. The pilot may need a trip back through Cirrus school.
Agree to disagree on this topic. Both need to happen Train the pilot to land and master stalls, AND pull the parachute early. I would argue that Cirrus trains the pilot in the second only. 4:30
“No proper time, if you think you’re in trouble just pull it…”
I would never chose a parachute in order to save myself in the case of a midair, that’s ridiculous.
Well, why didn't you do two or four combustion turbine engines on the wings, or do two turbine engines in the back on the sides of the rear rudder, and they have a special system so that if a problem occurs in the main engine, the turbine works
Apesar de ter casos na AMERICA DO SUL de uso dos paraquedas mas o problema é cabos eletricos por todos os paises deste continente espalhados e expostos em postes milhões de km então o uso do paraqueda que não tem controle direcional será apenas sorte se não tocar em um cabo eletricon destes vai virar uma bola de fogo ou morrer eletrocutado.
#an emergancy landing well planned with enough time is safer than a parchute.
When I was ~ 16 yo, at an airshow, I was speaking with (mostly) older people than me and 2 or 3 private pilots... When I suggested someone should put a small parachute on small aircraft, they were either silent, or straight away said it would not work. Once again, I was guilty of having a good idea. It is good to save lives, but I wonder if it would also be possible to save the aircraft, by also adding airbags under the wings and center of fuselage. It would also help against spinal compression of the occupants. Now, to save the aircraft, I am aware it has be be in a state it is worth repairing. Can you tell me the percentages of aircraft with parachute used that get/got repaired, and those that are write-offs. Keep up the good work, and interesting videos, as you do. 👍👍
It's my understanding that once you deploy the ballistic parachute, the aircraft is a complete write off. Just deploying the parachute would cause far too much structural damage for a repair to be possible.
@@charlesoxley7242 Yes. That is why they should improve the whole system.
