This pilot in 2013 had survived spatial disorientation in Cirrus N715CD where he pulled the chute but the dynamic movement of the aircraft prevented full deployment. Made three spirals but recovered and landed with rocket and tether dragging along behind.
ReplyDeleteInteresting report - Sheet 17/18 show the multiple spirals:
