If I ever own a plane it will have a parachute...for the plane. It exists.
I follow some company on instagram that retrofits planes with a system like that. Such a great invention. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t have one.

It is a great idea but I doubt they'd help for a crash during take-off or landing, and I suspect that's when most small, private plane mishaps occur.
I know 2 people I'd fly with in their private plane, both military trained. Wouldn't think of flying with anybody else without knowing a helluva lot about them and their training.

Because it would be terribly expensive to retrofit. My plane has a parachute. It’s a Cirrus SR22T, and they come standard with ballistic parachutes. Every plane manufacturer must be able to establish that it can recover from a stall. Most planes do it by applying opposite rudder and forward yoke. The Cirrus uses the parachute as stall recovery.
