This was handled beautifuly. The pilot communicated the issues calmly, weighed his options, and deployed the parachute safely. Props to the calm reaction!
He was given a closer runway to land on and he chose to try to get back to his departure field, after declaring engine trouble. I think the parachute gave him a sense of security and more of a care free attitude that he should have had. Wondering if he could have made the closer field, and saved himself, the airplane and the first responders a whole lot of trouble. Don’t get we wrong. The chute is awesome and I’m glad he is ok. But questioning his decision. Not saying I would have done better. Just trying to understand why he did what he did.

Couldn't agree more. Very calm pilot.

The departure field was the closest field
How many of these plans use a parachute to land ? Seems to happen a lot.
If it's there and it reduces your risk of death, why wouldn’t you use it?
it's course, not coarse.
Are you a qualified English teacher?

@@natural1952 Oh.....a you tube fascist.
@@BaronFlyingClubonly need to be 5th grade to know the difference between course and coarse
Cirrus planes are just a gimmick.
Too many cowardly pilots are trigger happy with that parachute system.
Too many "brave " ones are dead for lack of deployment.
@@briannorton5028 How is being DEAD brave?
He used it for what it was made for and walked away. Sure I'd like to save the plane too but their lives are more important.
@@ace00007 I agree with you there.
Ding Ding Ding....we have a winner. Dumbest comment on the internet today....congratulations!
