Those systems are nicknamed doctor killers because they give confidence to inexperienced pilots who should not be flying
But I do think they should be more prevalent, even if they can only be used in a handful of situations

Didn't know folks in Hackberry new what planes were.
Why don't you eat a bag of dicks and learn sentence grammar while you are at it.

Airspeed was dropping down to 64 at last moment and over 4000 feet. Wonder if they stalled out
That sounds like a living hell.

The Cirrus planes have them. Not sure how useful they would be if you weren’t at cruising altitude.

That's just over where it last got a report from the ADSB/transponder. They were up at 4000 when it went out.

Cirrus aircraft are equipped with parachutes, but they don’t automatically deploy, so it is still up to pilot action to activate it.
Also if a pilot opens it at the wrong time it will do much more harm than good. All that on top of being very costly and complicated to get certified it just isn’t very practical.

Was a 1979 Cessna 182 N4765N. Probably doing some night flying just to stay current. Plane was owned by an aviation company in Sulfur

I can confirm that it was Rock in the plane crash. Please pray for his family. with the recent loss of his Dad he has really stepped up and lead their family. I know they are in so much pain and feel lost. It has been years since I have seen or visited with him however, he has always had my respect and been a great guy.

knew a guy that had to eject from an F-4 because his drogue chute deployed during an air to air maneuver and wrapped around his empennage

The bodies are believed to be Rock Palermo and Richard Don Clements, Johnson said. Palermo was an instructor on the flight and Clements was a student. The families have been notified.

Knew him through his volunteer service with Civil Air Patrol. He was very active in the coordination of resources during Katrina/Rita, flew countless hours for missions and even served as CAP's National Legal Officer.
Really hate to hear about someone losing their life in an incident, and when everyone has nothing to say but good things it makes even harder. Sounds like he was a great guy. RIP.

Wouldn’t that interfere with glide capabilities? (In small planes)
May be more useful in stall situations.

such a tragedy, curious to find out what happened, that's a pretty docile and very dependable airplane

IIRC he's cousins with former Tiger linebacker Thad Minaldi.

AGL and MSL are probably the exact same where they were, 4000 feet should be enough to recover if nothing else happened but it was at night and over an area that wasn’t well lit.
