In most cases, the parachute works better when attached to a person, but I guess this works, too
Copperbrat
My guess is it would be incredibly difficult to exit and clear a falling small plane.
Warmblood
Actually relatively easy in most cases, but it is not standard practice for general aviation small aircraft pilots to wear parachutes.

Take offs are optional; but landings are MANDATORY.

It’s a full-plane parachute installed on some models of small aircraft. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrus_Airframe_Parachute_System

Kinda amazing how small the chute seems for how well it managed.

iirc those planes have kind of a ...Reputation, for being flown by people with more money than sense, and some see the parachutes as symptom

Seems the canopy came off mid-flight and the.pilot, unable to operate the aircraft with the wind in his face, pulled the oh-shit handle (BRS chute). https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/280419
owowowcrampcrampcramp
It seems like a European #.. But yeah, it does seem pretty intact to pull the chute.. But he did climb out of it, so he’s got that going for him. Had a 150 that the passenger door popped open when the wings took the weight, wife wanted to crash.. We didn’t..

Link is incident report
ATLandNerdy
Pro tip: if you can read the aircraft ID (Commonly called the N-number, as all american planes registration number begins with N) you can usually google it for any incident details. Sometimes you can also get a movies shooting location by looking up aircraft used in a shot. Aircraft are tracked and documented extensively, and much is public knowledge. Transponders are public and logged by agencies, professionals, and amatures.

I remember reading about these being tested on large passenger airplanes... but it just wasn't worth the cost. I guess it's way cheaper to just pay out for dead people than pay for a bunch of seriously injured people.

caerulakid
Seriously injured people sue. Survivors tend to want closure and be done with it.
PatrikLilja
Survivors often sue for lost loved ones.
Guess how many survivors sued for lost loved ones from jet airliner accidents in 2023.
PatrikLilja
Hint:
OliverOtter
Despite what you may think using "commonsense" logic, these planes don't actually have good safety records. People are not generally able to rate risk, and the risk reduction of having the parachute available leads people to make bad decisions, often to the point where the parachute isn't going to save them even if it works right. A safe plane is one that "feels" unsafe, so the pilot makes every decision with "if I take this unnecessary risk I may die" in mind.
PatrikLilja
If all four engines on a large airliner dies, it's probably safer to land it than trying something like this.
That's also not how most fatal plane crashes happen. Those are almost entirely around take-off and failed landings. In neither scenario will a parachute do any good.
It does make sense to have this on smaller single engine planes.
OliverOtter
You don't have to go that far. Not a single one can fly with more than a single engine out. Lose one engine on a 2-engine 737, fine. Lose both, you crash. Same with a 4-engine 747. Lose one engine, fine. Lose any two, you crash; the remaining two are just not able to keep the plane from crashing, because four engines of a power where two are able to keep the plane flying is four engines loafing inefficiently in normal cruise, and incredibly high fuel burn.
PatrikLilja
I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say. There are plenty of examples of controlled landings and/or controlled crashes after all engines die on airliners. They have a lot of mass and energy in them compared to small single seat planes. In order to deploy a parachute, they need to burn speed to deploy it. If the hydraulics are working, they can do that, but they can also land.
I'm saying it is safer to land on a field than trying to deploy a parachute.
biggaymeow
Not true my dude. They teach us how to take off in a 747 if 2 engines on one side fail. Flies just fine on 2. Climb out is slow and needs a ton of rudder but no Crashy on 2.
rubypilgrim
At the speeds airliners travel, I'm wondering if any parachute would survive deployment, and how large a parachute you'd need to provide such a large and heavy aircraft a survivable landing. You might be better off designing the interior in a series of ejectable pods that have their own oxygen and parachutes. If possible, probably not affordable - would add tremendously to the weight of the plane.
PatrikLilja
I don't actually think there has ever been a study that came up with the reason of it being expensive for larger passenger planes.
Some smaller ones I have found, but there still is a lot of problems.
Warmblood
Per IATA, in 2023 there was around one airliner accident for every 1.26 million flights. Ignoring the insane physics & technical challenges, the weight added by such a system would increase fuel burn and decrease payload across the industry for a system used for a once in a million event. If any of the devices accidentally go off in flight, it might well hurt more than it saves. Plus, it wouldn't help with takeoff and landing accidents or controlled flight into obstacles.
PatrikLilja
There were 0 fatal jet engine plane crashes in 2023 globally. There was one in 2022 in China, which is suspected to be a deliberate crash, and investigation is still ongoing.
Flying at high speed, a parachute would rip apart. If we used magic to make sure it didn't rip apart, it would rip apart the airplane. Planes need to be completely rebuilt for this to work.
The plane will still have control if all engines die. Over land, it is safer to try and land than crashing like this. 1/2
PatrikLilja
If over water, it's still safer to try and land as close to shore as safely as possible. Your biggest danger would be drowning, not the crash itself.
Looking from fatal airplane accidents, the seat belts actually help. Landing in a field or too short from a runway will be bumpy, and people without seat belts sometimes stand for 100% of casualties, several such cases from looking back last couple of years.
A parachute isn't a balloon, you have to go kinda fast for it to work. 2/3
PatrikLilja
If there is no or little downward velocity, the parachute won't work, no matter how big or small, it won't unfold, instead it will increase to a speed where it can unfold.
It's physically impossible to have the plane simply sail down in a gentle fashion. It will be a rough landing. The larger and heavier the parachute, the more velocity is needed to unfold it completely. 3/3

The canopy opened randomly in flight. that's the cause of the incident, and loose objects easily fall out.
I've seen a lot of pilots using a tablet for navigation and other things in flight. Sometimes that is loose in the cockpit, that would be my guess what we are seeing.
GordonFreeman59
There's a relatively recent crashed that was caused because of a loose Ipad in the cockpit that got stuck on a rudder pedal. The aircraft started rotating on its axis and because of the centrifugal forces on the pilots, none managed to unstuck it, and they crashed. Tragic event, viewer discretion is advised, the clip is tough to watch so be careful https://youtu.be/IkHmJ99rfxw?t=32
Uhxohr
There should never be loose objects in a cockpit, especially big tablets. People have died after making that mistake.

PatrikLilja
There should never be, no. But I guess this or similar is the most common: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrx7RAlEbQE
It is attached, yes, but if the canopy opens up completely, it migh easily come off.
SignedEpsteinsMother
Looks like.
lumpybear
Why tho?
tattoogigolo
Maybe to preserve a record in case the crash resulted in a fire.
SignedEpsteinsMother
Real guess - they were probably loose in the cockpit, and when he opened the canopy they just flew out.
Funny guess - trying to stage the scene for insurance fraud.

Well, then i am impressed by the weird zooming and how surreal it looks how the guy leaves the aircraft.
PapaSez
Not approaching the obviously faulty, recently crashed plane is the right call. The first rule of FA is don't become a casualty yourself. One person injured is more than enough for emergency responders to deal with.
sneakypoo
Ok, how about "HEY! You alright, dude!?" instead of standing there in complete silence and framing up a shot like it's a show?
sneakypoo
Showing concern for others is frowned upon I see.
saucenes5
he's moving. in shock but potentially just a little banged up. When he exits the plane and stops moving is where the guy needs to re-asses and consider going near the recently crashed sky car that has unknown structural damage and a fuel tank
PlanckEraWasMyBestEra
I agree, though we don't know what happened when the camera cut off and it could be that those few seconds were what it took for the camera guy to fully register what was happening. Witnessing scary things is also traumatic and dude just saw a plane fall out of the sky.

That quote is good for test pilots like Yeager, but not so much in Production. Planes are expensive and so are repairs.
rockstarjesus
The entire reason they pilots are there is to discover the design/production errors. What even is your fucking point here?
Makerofroads
Yeager didn't fix, or pay for the planes he flew. No pilot does. Not only do they not do that, they don't give a shit either. Did 8.5 years in USAF AMXS, both airlift and fighters. Cargo pilots are more relatable, fight pilots are each 10,000 part capacity toolbags, every one.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
To be fair to Yeager test planes are expected to fail. But when a plane is taken off service for unscheduled maintenance because you didn't want to go around, people rating your performance are going to be unhappy.
rhrhshahrhshf
If I own a plane I'm going to be the one paying for repairs.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
that doesn't make the landing good
Vortexhelios320
It's 'good' if you judge it on a scale of '0-10' with 10 being a perfect landing, 5 being limping away from the moderately smoking wreckage, and 0 being crashing full speed into an ammonium-nitrate plant. I'd call this a 6!
AzgarOgly
Except the pilot and the owner of the plane can be the same person and in case of light aircraft it predominantly is so.
So your "no pilot does" is probably about military aircraft and airliners.
Makerofroads
It is, in reference to Chuck Yeager being a military pilot. Depending in the plane it's possible the pilot is the mechanic, if he/she gets their certs, but I would imagine it isn't something that is super common.
AzgarOgly
Well, in context of this post, "pilot fixes his own plane" would mean that the pilot is financially responsible for the damage that they cause to the hardware. He is not necessarily taking the plane apart and bending the damaged wing back straight on their own. Even if they have an insurance, it costs quite a buck to repair the plane after "successful landing". That is what the original commenter of this thread meant, I'm certain.
Popnitro

Its called CAPS and is standard on these planes as they have a "above nominal" number of accidents. The cirrus is called the doctor-killer for a reason.

The patent expired last year so others can also use it. The brand not change the problem with these planes/pilots tho.

Me too. Like, why is the abbreviation for the speed of light "c" and not the old "V sub 0" like in the olden times? Why go with "c for causality" and not use "causality" instead of "speed of light".... "energy equals mass times the speed of causality" sounds better, to me.

I like this. I was a substitute for the local high school for a few days a couple of years back. I told the class "give me $20 and I'll give you all the answers to today's quiz". A kid walked up with $20 and I handed him an envelope with 10 pieces of paper... 3 had "A", 3 had "B", 2 had "C" and 2 had "D". He said 'that's not fair' and I said, 'never make a decision without having all the facts. $20 is pretty good for such a valuable life lesson'. (my conscience made me give back the $20)
