Symphony Aircraft Announces Sale Of First BRS-Equipped SA 160

Owner Will Pick Up His Plane Next Week

At the 2006 Sun 'N Fun Fly-In last week, Symphony Aircraft Industries announced the first BRS parachute installation in a Symphony SA 160. The owner, Daly Craig, will pick up his aircraft at the factory the week of April 10.

As Aero-News reported earlier this year, Symphony received FAA certification in January for the installation of the Ballistic Recovery Systems, Inc. (BRS), whole-airplane parachute recovery system as a factory installed option.

“Flying the Symphony is very fun," said Craig. "Its maneuverability and visibility are great features, but I also want my passengers to feel an extra level of safety when we fly. The BRS parachute provides that added security."

Symphony representatives told Aero-News Craig decided to purchase his plane also based in part on the availability of the BRS 'chute.

"We want our customers to be safe and this light weight, fast acting parachute system offers an exceptional degree of comfort and safety. The BRS deployment handle has a unique safety latch that keeps the handle in clear view and allows safe "quick thumb" release by the pilot or the passenger.” said Paul Costanzo, Symphony Aircraft, President and CEO. “This option is just another example of the advanced technologies available in the Symphony 160.”

“We at BRS find the Symphony Aircraft as one of the more progressive manufacturers in the industry," said John Gilmore, Vice President of Sales at BRS. "We are already shipping the second BRS chute for installation in a Symphony SA 160 in as many months."
