Details Sketchy So Far, BRS Chute Used At Night To Save 4
ANN has learned that a Cirrus Design parachute emergency system
was used late yesterday in canada to recover in an aircraft in
distress. Manufactured by BRS, the rocket propelled parachute
recovery system was reportedly used on a flight from Kelowna, B.C.
to Lethbridge, Alberta about 2115 local time.
Severe turbulence over mountains, at night, seem to be contributing
factors to an emergency that occured to an SR20 that was carrying
three adults and a child when the chute had to be deployed over the
Monashee Mountains.
