Re: Vertical Landing
Extract from the flight manual of the cirrus aircraft (I know that one isn't a cirrus) The emergency parachute should only be used for total and irrecoverable loss of control of the aircraft. Engine failure is definitely not a just reason for its use. If my understanding is right, the one and only ...
