Airplane Description
SR22
forth or oscillate slightly as it hangs from the parachute. Descent rate
is expected to be less than 1700 feet per minute with a lateral speed
equal to the velocity of the surface wind. In addition, surface winds
may continue to drag the aircraft after ground impact.
• Caution •
Ground impact is expected to be equivalent to touchdown
from a height of approximately 13 feet. While the airframe,
seats and landing gear are designed to accommodate this
stress, occupants must prepare for it in accordance with the
CAPS Deployment procedure in Section 3 - Emergency
Procedures.
• Note •
The CAPS is designed to work in a variety of aircraft attitudes,
including spins. However, deployment in an attitude other than
level flight may yield deployment characteristics other than
those described above.
