Good morning James,
I have read this thread and can imagine the government red tape that would be involved in this sort of a retrofit or incorporation during a build. Who would want to install a BRS and then have to test it for the government…..and then who would trust that the plane is stillflyable?
When we do our initial testing here in the USA, we are advised to“wear” a parachute for just such a reason. But after the test phase is over, it is then our choice. I don’t know of anyone that flies with a parachute unless they are doing acrobatics. But I wonder if incorporating a parachute as the back cushion of your seat might quell someone’s concerns? A lot less expensive with zero government involvement.

PS The wife and I just did a basic tour of Ireland this past summer and loved it. Looking forward to returning and covering more of the island. I believe we had the misfortune of having beautiful sunny weather our entire time there, even at the Cliffs of Moher,and now feel that is what Ireland weather is like all the time. We got spoiled.

Hi guys and gals,
I'm new here as I've just recently purchased a Classic Tri-Gear with a Rotax 912S engine.

I based in Ireland and you may or may not know that we recently had a tragedy in Co. Wexford (on the South East Coast) where 2 very experienced pilots (one was a very experienced instructor) were killed when their Rollason Condor broke up in mid air.
This has made me think about Parachutes and I wondered if anyone has ever fitted one to a Europa or know of anyone doing it. Or if anyone has looked into the possibility/practicality of doing it.

Cheers
James
