Sling TSi Ballistic Parachute deployment considerations
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Hi all! Sorry it's been so long. I was in training for a new airplane (A330) at my airline, so that was taking up all of my time and brainpower for a while.
As promised, here is part 2 in the parachute topic. This one is dealing with the Aeronautical Decision Making associated with deploying the chute. Next video will return to more fun / scenic stuff.

Thank you MIke for another excellent video and your analysis of the factors involved in the decision making. Very helpful.
One of my favorite channels! I love your content and thank you for posting your adventures & knowledge.
Thanks for posting Mike! Very informative and educational. I look forward to all your useful videos on Sling. I have a chute on mine too and often wondered about how to best use it if needed.
Great video, thanks a lot!!!
Great video! A+!
invaluable advice, thank you sir.
Excellent video Mike and just the subject that Sling should address. When building my TSi I asked them about this topic. I think they would be wise to review and recommend your video to their clients. Credit to you …

In the US, we have and we will recommend Mike's parachute videos.
Nice one Mike. I've equipped a chute in my second aircraft. My 4 place mission didn't allow a chute in my TSi. So I'm planning to do some turn back practises and be picky with the airports to minimise the risks. Either way, the chute is a great option to have at any altitude.

Even with the chute in my TSi, with some forward ballast, I can carry 2 adults + 2 kids + bags, or 4 adults but no bags. Someone once told me, "The problem is, those kids tend to keep growing, if you keep feeding them." 😆
Great job 1AM. I know it takes a lot of time to do this. Thank you! I have a Sling 2 with Magnum chute. I agree with your analysis. It would be nice to have a data base of Sling chute deployments like Cirrus has…but maybe lack of pulls is an indicator of Rotax reliability. I think Boris Popov (founder BRS) has said “pull at any altitude if you need it!” The KZread video titled “Rescue Parachute System in Sirius” shows a successful deployment at about 200’ or 250’ agl, I am guessing, from level flight. In the USAF, it was hammered into us to trust the ejection seat. Parachutes work great! “Pull early, pull often!” kzread.info/dash/bejne/f4We2tKwqszNfpc.htmlsi=RRHfcRLCIwWUIjuO Or here’s test pilot in a spin 14 seconds before impact! 327 agl? kzread.info/dash/bejne/qquO1NaSl9G2Z9Y.htmlsi=lQEostCnUKAZYbbF
