Flight Conducted Under:

On October 24, 2020, about 1200 central daylight time, a Cirrus SR22 airplane, N183V, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Tishomingo, Oklahoma. The pilot and three passengers were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 flight. 

The pilot stated that after descending to about 1,800 ft above ground level, the engine started to lose RPM and subsequently lost all power. After noticing that forced landing options were unsuitable, the pilot pulled the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS). The airplane descended under parachute until impact with terrain, which fractured an engine mount. On site examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed significant thermal damage to the engine and an empty oil reservoir, with oil covering the underside of the airplane.

  1. Chute worked and they didn't land in tree limbs or on a fence where a steel t-post could poke up through the floor.

  2. You know that's a good point. Not many truly understand the risk of a BRS recovery. While statistically it may save more lives, there's no guarantee you won't be impaled on the 20mph uncontrolled vertical descent.

    1. Objects do come through - tree came up through the floor by pilots leg in the N699RS Canadian forest chute descent:

  3. BRS says the Cirrus descent rate is between 900 and 1680 feet per minute or about 15 to 28 feet per second..
    While numbers differ depending on the aircraft and environmental conditions, fliers of a Cirrus SR22, for example, can expect a descent rate of about 15 to 28 feet per second. May 11, 2016
