cirrusaircraft....
The pilot of a single engine Cirrus SR-22 aircraft that ran out of fuel is safe after ditching his aircraft 253 miles northeast of Maui, Hawaii Sunday. At approximately 4:44 p.m. the pilot was able to deploy the aircraft’s airframe parachute system and safely exit the aircraft into a life raft.

This is how you fly, parachute, scuba dive, swim and go rafting all in one trip. That guy is such a multitasker!
don't forget cruising!! lol
@@German_Shepherd_Mom he's gone on a cruise trip afterwards and retired 😂😂😂
hahahaha I thought the same
nah! he forgot his spear gun and did not make a superman pose in midair
Parachute surfing and surfing and waterskiing
This really is a brilliant innovation. Possibly the best technical improvement to private aviation since TCAS/PCAS.
we need this incorporated in all commercial fixed wing flights, too, as a matter of fact.
@@jahnkaplank8626 commercial airliners don’t really make much since with this, since they’re too big to be practically incorporated into a system like this
@@jahnkaplank8626 HAHAHAHAHAh how tf do you expect to put a chute in a 70ton airplane??
TCAS is used in like airliners. most people use ADS-B dude
Brilliant innovation? It's a simple solution that should be introduced at least in the 1950s.
Who is here after reading about the Plane crash in Denver with the Cirrus SR22 deploying it chute?
👍
I wanted to see how that works
Me too.
@@joekerry2206 ohhhh me 3. lol
Roger on that miraculous Denver incident. Note the above video of "ditching" en-route California Maui was a ferry flight with faulty auxiliary fuel system installation, not a crazy pilot. NTSB event 20150126X84741
Dude never lost his sunglasses...
Thats butch...he immediately had a minoj a twa with two girls who were in rescue boat.
@@markusdaxamouli5196 I think you mean menage atwah. It's German, so I know it's hard to spell it right.
Good job deciphering that hieroglyphic gobbledygook.
@@SilverbackGorilla69 I don't speak French, and my only exposure to German is from Rammstein, and even I knew that that's a French phrase and not spelled like that.
@@SilverbackGorilla69 Ménage à Trois meaning three people together in a relationship. House of three in French. Lol at the butchering of the phrase so badly when you have the internet at your disposal.
So I’m at dinner last night with my buddy’s family, his father is an experienced pilot…he casually mentions his plane needs to be refitted with a new parachute.
So every ten years these Cirrus SR22’s require that.
I’m thinking a parachute for the pilot to bail out, he shows me this video and I’m STILL gobsmacked.
The next day.
I had no idea, and all these years I was worrying about him flying with their dog and my friend (who is paralyzed) and the fact this is possible blows my mind.
Definitely a sweet plane, 100% worth it if you’re in the market.
Well I'm glad that the pilot is OK! I know those parachutes are a huge selling point for Cirrus Aircraft.
I am not a pilot, but I WOULD NOT buy a plane without it. Thats your get out of jail card.
No the cirrus crashes at a disproportionate rate compared to Cessna, the parachutes are essential.
Your saying Cessna is a safer plane?
That was true ONLY in the early days of the Cirrus (which is, by far, the best selling piston plane today.) It hasn't been true for years, due to better training.
This is true. Only .49 fatals per 100,000 hours vs industry standard close to 1.0. Cirrus is now a lot safer than it was.
Fantastic system. Flying in remote areas, mountains, open water is no longer a dangerous proposition in a single engine aircraft. Kudos to Cirrus for developing it. The Cirrus Vision Jet is my new favorite.
That’s a sr22
it was added to the aircraft because it couldn't recover from spins.....the FAA made them add the chute....which is now a marketing gimmick
@@toddkallenbach3904
Is the chute actually effective or like you say, it's just a marketing gimmick ? Are all aircraft impossible to recover from spins or some are better than others in that regard ? You seem to know a lot more so any insight would be very much appreciated.
@@georgesimon4469 yes the chute is effective but the reason is has the chute is because the plane could not demo spin recoveries during the cert process. Any plane will spin, some more easily than others. A Cessna 172 will spin easily and recover easily...depends on model and airfoil design.
@@toddkallenbach3904 My thoughts exactly, Built in parachute seems sus, But the people that buy these have money than sense anyway.
Glad the pilot is okay. What a rare event to catch the whole incident on camera. And like others have mentioned, the pilot somehow managed to keep his sunglasses on the entire time :)
Wait this was a real emergency? I thought it was a test or demonstration of the chute system since they had the cameras on him the whole time.
@@brickson98m , He was ferrying an airplane to Hawaii with a extra tank inside the cabin of the airplane and it wouldn’t transfer the fuel so he knew he wasn’t going to make it. They vectored him to a cruise ship and they picked him up in one of the life boats.
@@av8rshane491 oh, interesting. So I assume the coast guard was on standby and happened to be recording?
Where did you find this info?
@@brickson98m , that correct. They also set up the intercept with the cruise ship. I think there is a YT video with where they interviewed the pilot.
@@brickson98m , found the title, Mayday over the pacific.
Now imagine if the plane had inflatable pontoons in the bottom, anyway great video, I would love one of these planes.
And you can have one for approximately 1.9 million
yeah that would be better, lol the plane is a complete loss over open water.
@@0110rroberts well recovering it in water is gonna literally cost more than getting a new one
@@turtletube they aren’t that much
and a boat engine with a possibility to install some sails
I'm glad this is a thing now. For years, people have been saying this isn't feasible, or even possible, before it was done. Just another example of why you shouldn't listen to those "experts" who say something can't be done just because they can't figure it out.
Not feasible for airliners
@@weiSane Until someone does it.
@@hellcat1988 hahaha , yeah. So we wait and see who does it first.
Wow, that pilot has a lot of confidence in the parachute and getting out of of the plane in time before it submerges, without having the doors become stuck during the crash.
That's another advantage. Softer landing less bent frame more likely the door can still open.
Another advantage would have been proper flight planning. He would still have an $800,000 cirrus.
Wow. Dude put his money where his mouth is, and proved his concept. Fantastic. If only this kind of thing were on all private planes. Think of the lives it could have saved. Super stuff. Really.
The caps system is an absolute life saver
So is flight planning. Two HUNDRED miles away from Maui and you ran out of gas?
An inflatable device to stop the plane from sinking would be a great thing to have
Isn't it called "The wings"?
I think it's just a matter of additional weight and money.
Rob Nolan I don’t think you know much about planes, you can always fly a plane manually, commercial planes with parachutes have already bent proven to not be needed in almost all cases, planes have enough doors on them to get people out of the plane quickly enough so that there is a 95% survival rate on plane crashes. And most of all, implementing more systems will make the plane heavier, making it take more fuel maintenance costs go up, and your ticket prices that are already very high go up more
Is there any sense in saving a plane from sinking? Shooting chute makes it unrepairable. Also i doubt that cruise ship could and would lift an entire plane from water.
Or at least cut the chute loose and close the door.
was waiting for the moment that they guy would take a cocktail in his rubberboat.... he is so relaxed with his sunglasses :)
That's an expensive way to get a free cruise.
Why would the Coast Guard charge him?
No that's not how the coast guard works.
What kind of country charges his cittizens for using an ambulance? WTF
Umm. Yeah. Health care in the U.S. is very much a business.
uh... from my ambulance experience in france, France most definitely charges for ambulance service
When I took my first PPL lesson I remember asking the instructor if we had a parachute. I don't why I asked that, I just did. You have to admit this parachute is one hell of a selling point from a safety point of view.
zutrue its worth your life
With my luck I'd float down onto my ex-wife's house.
haha!
Some guys have done that.....deliberately, and they weren't floating.
Hey, you paid for the house.
Here's Johnny !
It could be worse. You could float down onto *my* ex-wife's house.
Hey! Just in case you do, could you maybe see if she'll give me back my missed years with the kids, all the family members on both sides she alienated from me, our mutual friends, my former teammates and co-workers, my personal belongings ( I loved that toothbrush and the AlpineStar boots!) my military records, high school diploma and college degrees, transcripts, family photos (before her of course) family photos (with us because we *are* supposed to be adults remember?) my work equipment, boat(s) motorcycle, fishing/hunting/camping gear, tools, truck(s) & camera equipment, a couple hundred grand in cash and oh yeah, can I be allowed to have my *fucking pride, self-esteem and self-worth?* Pretty please??
I tell my sons today that having your every achievement stolen from you without any justification other than being married to someone is exactly why marriage is to be avoided at all costs!
Dude looking chill in his flotation device thing I think he's fine just leave him there
It's good the pilot opened the door to avoid problems opening up when the plane lands on the water and so the pilot could evacuate easy.
Who's here after the crash of the cirrus that deployed its parachute in Mendocino County, CA? They all survived.
There was one at Western Michigan University yesterday at 11:00 a.m. in the article they said that the Cirrus parachute system deployed without telling us what the heck that was. So here I am.
The pilot was so chill. Being in deep open water is my worst fear so much so that I feel like I am going to think it into existence and it will be my peril, most like it is karma, but karma isn't the right word but it is in the same realm of "it isn't actually a thing but it really seems like it is sometimes."
I like how he is comfortable leaning on his boat with both arms on the sides right after the smooth "crash landing". LOL
If only he had a way to quickly release the chute after touchdown. It looks like it dragged the plane sideways in the water and eventually rolled it over, sinking it more quickly than it would have otherwise.
It's pretty much a foregone conclusion that the plane is going to be destroyed no matter what with the parachute. It's designed to save passengers. Not the airplane.
No shit, DEEREMEYER! lol
(I think the point is had there been additional passengers/children they may have been trapped)
Does the Parachute have a cutaway system to release it once you are safely on the ground?
Get a chute, and some inflatable thingies at the base of the wingframe. problem solved.
When I was working at a machine shop Called Jayco Engineering, a gentleman in the back who had a classic camero he was working on, was part of the beginnings of this. That was in 98'. Time has gone by but good things stay around. Great to see it happened.
When I write this there has just been another emergency landing that saw a Cirrus run out of fuel (it has small, impractical fuel tanks that don't balance automatically and the pilot must pay attention in order to switch between them by hand regularly). Came down on its parachute too and landed in a field, largely undamaged and the 3 on board fine. However the pilot omitted to cut the parachute free of the plane and not having been taken away yet, the next day strong winds started blowing that did not only drag but even lifted the plane, it this time ending up upside-down in a pond, now being severally damaged indeed.
amazing system. i think best advantage is in the mountains with 1 engine where no emergency landings are possible
+mob1235 Check out the one that just happened in North Carolina
+jude999
And another . A NC owner in Palatka Florida .
True -- at least a chute large enough to deploy for a hanging aircraft would be probably easy to see on ground from a rescue party in the air.
I'd find that radio mast on the mountain. A single control line would give some directional input
My luck a boat full of Somali pirates would show up.
Lol
Ha ha ha 😂😂😂
Tell them they can keep the plane.
Good God man, that one cracked me up
@@DerbJd i rather would had just paddled it back to shore
unlock or cutting the ropes after hit the ground - absolutely necessary ! ! ! Life saving for passengers
This system just saved another life!
When my oldest kid goes to buy his plane this is a must have!
Let’s hope he has some cash
Charlie Mannion - Money isn’t the problem. All he wants to do is play grant theft auto and smoke weed. He could go to flight school in our town for free but oh no he’s gotta be a video game bad ass.
Fixedguitar well fuck I’m 16 and begging my parents to let me take flight lessons can we trade?
That's a handle I'm glad Iv'e never had to pull.
I practiced reaching the BRC safety latch and handle more than any other control in my plane.
Funny thing is the people I sold it to must not of practiced at all and stove it straight into a couple houses after spiraling down for at least 45 seconds..
Amesie's Corner You can't fix stupid...

Makes sense for light aircraft
Very smart! If John Denver had learned that, he'd be alive today! ALWAYS know your aircraft and its emergency equipment and practice a dry run often, so it will be second-nature in a real situation.
Chute happens
It's scary when chut hits the fan.
These puns are in such bad taste, somebody should chute you.
Chute yourself, Now!
Some funny chute you guys came up with ....oh chute that already got used
What a great idea, the only downside I can see off the cuff is heavy seas, where the plane could get flipped over. Still, gives a fighting chance--can't imagine not wanting it installed if I were a private plane owner.
I like how this parachute deployed rather than the other video with the other plane this one landed flat. The other plane landed nose first.
I'm really pleased to see an idea I had in mind , and in others too, come to pass.
It's happened to me too if you ever think of anything you have to really really lawyer up before you bring it to anybody
This idea was thought of 20 years ago
Think about his day, "okay plane, get me there safely...oh crap! Okay parachute get me down safely...oh crap! Okay inflatable emergency boat, keep me afloat safely...oh crap! Okay coast guard, get me home safely? I'm literally out of options"
These airplane designers need to go watch that chitty chitty bang bang movie and get with the program!
I had this idea a long time ago, everyone said it was a dumb idea. Every plane should have this type of emergency system.
Todos aviões teriam q ter isso obrigatoriamente!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Sim avioens de pequeno porte sim ,mais avioens de grande porte não seria possivel porque por causa do peso
Why haven’t this been enacted for all planes? This technology can save thousands of lives
For small planes, sure. For large planes, unecessary, too dangerous and not economical.
Because it’s comes at a high cost and is only needed in a few incidents.
And it’s only for light weight air crafts.
This wouldn’t work for big commercial passenger planes.
2:48 I can hear through my pc the guy singing "Always look on the bright side of life 🎶🎶🎶"
en Uruguay cayó una avioneta con paracaídas sobre un bosque y los ocupantes salieron sin heridas. Excelente!!
Looks like the pirates from Captain Phillips picked him up !!!!
Look at me... look at me, I'm the pilot now.
That was a Holland vessel that recovered the guy, probably all part of a well-paid ad scheme!
G Borch 😂😂😂😂😂
Anjayl 😂😂😂😂😂
Uncool the way in which the chute caused the plane to flip over in the water. Some sort of a cut-away from the chute mechanism would be cool.
Just like in Kerbal Space Program
dude was chillin hard in that raft after the plane sunk
Caps, life preserver and a raft? Well prepped!
The raft is a requirement to have on board any private aircraft especially single engine that are making extended trips over a large body of water.
The CAPS system saved his life, great video for selling points...
This dude is an absolute legend 🙌🏼
WELL DONE THAT MAN
The first part of the freefall looked terrifying
i bet the second the nose goes down you think it all failed
Dude was floating around in that rest like it was just another day at the pool.
You know that guy was plummeting to the ocean, thinking. Thank God, am I glad I didn't cheap out and buy the plane without the chute.
It would be awesome if they could get this to work for commercial Airlines
Wow this is cool
Some day all aircraft will be made this way,because every pilot deserves a second chance!
As a pilot myself...I can assure they are nice to have but 9 out of ten pilots I know would never pull it even with a full engine failure. They kill just as many people as it saves. Cirrus planes are nice but people rely on these too much and don't use them properly. I would never pull them unless over a Forrest if my engine went out I'm gliding it down and hoping for the best
@@bubbaman12289 no one asked you to pull over a nice landing spot This is for mountain crossing or beach side or in busy city where you cant land or pilot's health emergency passengers can pull
@@BondJFK my comment was when pilots use them incorrectly try again...
This parachute would be nice on commercial airliners to have.
To an aristocrat shark: yay dinner on a plate
Aeronautical companies should study an airbag system: swells to water contact by allowing the aircraft to float for at least the time needed for evacuation.
Most pilots are smart enough to not make a habit of making extended over water trips in single engine airplanes. Weight is EVERYTHING in an airplane.
Winni sa Or maybe just design the already light airframe to not take in water so quickly. Even the huge passenger plane that was ditched in the Houston river was light enough to do a very orderly evacuation before sinking. So an already crash survival focused design like the Cirrus should also have considered airframe recovery at sea.
@sugershakify Absolutely. Its time to base ticket price on passenger weight. I shouldn't have to pay as much as fatty does.
Winni sa so what happens when the plane flies in rain?.....
Ok. That's fine and all, but do you have a suggestion on how to compensate for the added weight without changing the engine of the airplane so it stays within its class-type specifications while also maintaining a decently usable weight limit that accommodates more than just the pilot and fuel?
What a great safety device !
Great landing. That liferaft looks like it’s only a one person.
This is why you wouldn't catch me dead in a single engine plane without a parachute.
they WOULD catch you dead without it though...
Inflatable floats would be nice.
I’m guessing the cost of a new airplane is probably a bit lower and safer than organizing a salvage operation to lift a floating airplane out of choppy seas.
And maybe drinks and inflatable girl
It lacks of a system to release the parachute after landing/amerizing. Here the parachute drags the plane strongly due to the wind, and even makes it capsize, creating a dangerous situation and reducing the probability of a sucessful evacuation of the aircraft. Other than that, the system seems to work pretty well.
Such a great system. Should be on every plane.
Well...all of that looks completely terrifying.
Well. seems to be helpful, but that chute should have been released on entering the water as that chute pulling the plane over to capsize due to one wing sinking as the chute kept pulling , could have been a disaster due to the chute itself.
True -- I doubt he could get into his little raft and out of the way before the aircraft sank, without some practice. Not very feasible, but I've seen vids on the Cirrus and the Chute before, I'm still not really convinced. That was a Holland vessel that recovered the man in this video, all no doubt planned and NOT a real-life type of event! (Then, of course, he'd have to worry about a Kraken grabbing him in the North Sea before the rescue ship got there. On land? Maybe the outcome could be much better, depending on what is underneath.
The chute gives you a little bit more hope in a hopeless situation, when you are in a situation in which you have to use CAPS, you're going to die without it 100%, CAPS will give you the possibility of surviving a lethal situation. If youre in water your odds really go down as shit can really hit the fan, but these chutes arent made to detach, once you land youre supposed to ditch before you get dragged or the aircraft explodes, the reason they make these chutes not to detach much like a spacecraft's chutes, because the forces that are being applied could break any type of release mechanism, your adding a structural point that could potentially fail, its better to make it rigid and where it wont fail, and then get the hell out of dodge before you get dragged away. Its simply your best bet in a situation that you would otherwise be killed in.
ABSOLUTLY WONDERFUL BEST I HAVE SEEN, THANK YOU.
A brand new Cirrus just crashed literally across the street from my office. Landed in a big pile on the sidewalk. The ballistic chute never had a chance to open. He was too low. RIP.
Getting rescued by a luxurious cruise ship happy times ❤❤ lobster and steak dinner, what a plane and brave pilot to boot
Parachute its a great thing to have in planes
Given what I've just seen: makes sense to spend the bit extra and have some sort of inflatable flotation devices against the fuselage/under wing area.
they could add another
improvement to the safety
floatating fuselage or wings
underneath fuselage or wing
why not, it could be done.
Remember to stay CAPS current folks!
I think this is a great idea and should be consider on ALL airplanes ✈️ with much better parachutes 🪂 and technology. SAVE. LIVES 🙏🏽👍🏽
Not possible on commercial airliners because of the weight.
Kinda surprised people think this is real life. I mean it is, but this was a testing/development video when they were designing and testing out the thing. Last I heard, it has been activated a little over 210 times by real PPL holders versus this well paid professional test pilot.
It is an aspirational aircraft and a lot to love about it. About the price of the average new American home plus a little bit.
My friend’s dad has one. He has the Cirrus SR22. Every ten years they put a new chute on. We were at dinner last night with the family and the subject came up. I had simply thought the chute replacement was for the pilot. That’s when I learned more about the plane…and lost all fears of his dad flying him (he’s a quadriplegic). I believe it’s currently getting fitted with its second.
The idea is NOT having to deploy it, but having it there as a safeguard calms a lot of insecurities related to flying.
Legend has it that the raft self inflated and had wine in a glass and potatoe chips and two bologna sandwiches, a cloth napkin and a table candle already lighted for the person who enters the raft.
and a butler taking orders
Frighting what happened after touchdown!
treat yourself to a HUET course; you'll love it...
That’s some impressive flying
Wow that guy was prepared for everything like me went in in a trip or some were I like to have everything
All single engine plane should have this...even after one for older planes
As ypu do on a sunny afternoon what a boss just chilling after he just lost his aircraft 😂 Boom just wait for my cruise ship to pick me up haha
They just left that raft out there to get stuck in a turtles butt.
😅
2:51 He could be by the pool
I remember this incident. And the range for a Cirrus SR22 is 1207miles.
The distance from Long Beach to Hawaii is 2478miles.
You do the math.
It had ferry tanks installed for delivery.
they did the math, you do the research about ferrying
Lools like it took an eternity for that shoot to stabilize
As he floats around in his raft he's saying to himself "I hope my wife sent in the insurance payment this month"
he ran out of fuel. Do they even cover that?
Imagine the pilot inadvertently pulling the chute. Reminds me of the Navy pilot accidently ejecting from his F16? while trying to piss in a bottle.
Fantástic from Brazil.
Thanks goodness
He's saved.
They should really consider adding this type of system to commercial planes as well as make them able to land on water and stay a float. Maybe even add a solar powered boat motor if in the water to make it to shore. Just a thought.
Rich people have it so nice: flying in the morning and sailing in the afternoon....
Anyway, the chute flipped the plane. There should be a chute release also after the plane touches down. With empty fuel tanks, it might float for a long time.
now something is needed to release the harness for the chute so it doesn't drag the boat into the water. any ideas?
That's awesome now I can drive a plane yea!
I just wonder how many pull the chute,, rather than flying it down. Saw one recently of a executive of a company, pulled chute wit 2 very good landing options.
You'd want to be fairly confident that a traditional glide landing was out of the question. A good system if you have to land in the drink.
A quick release could be a life saver once you hit water. If there were any passengers they could have been trapped and drowned when the plane flipped over.
Should have a cut away system for the chute after impact to prevent roll over like in the video
Didn't even spill a drop of his beer lol
