Only a block from my house. Even got a call from the elementary school that my kid attends. Pretty scary.

I don’t know about that. A plane crashed into a house pretty close to me in Yorba Linda earlier this year.

I meant at and around Cable Airport specifically.

I'm not quite 40 and there have been 4 or 5 planes on Benson in my lifetime.

Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS)

The pilot of a single engine Cirrus SR-22 aircraft that ran out of fuel is safe after ditching his aircraft 253 miles northeast of Maui, Hawaii Sunday. At approximately 4:44 p.m. the pilot was able to deploy the aircraft’s airframe parachute system and safely exit the aircraft into a life raft.

That is the 3rd crash this year coming or going from Cable. One crashed at the city yard a few months ago, and one flipped in the field just east of Benson.

The Cirrus has to be above a certain altitude for the chute to properly deploy. I think the factory says 1,500', but there have been successful pulls as low as 400'.

Standard flow checklist for Cirrus SR’s during takeoff;


G3 and older, at 500 feet AGL...flaps, maps, caps....

Newer models, at 600 feet AGL....flaps, maps caps...

Thanks for posting that. For those unfamiliar with Cirrus aircraft, "CAPS" is an acronym for "Cirrus Airframe Parachute System".

The checklist 530RL referred to calls for arming of the parachute rocket deployment motor at 500 or 600 feet above ground elevation, depending on whether the aircraft has a Gen 1 or Gen 2 CAPS.

The system is armed by removing a safety pin in the overhead T handle that initiates deployment when pulled.

According to the checklist approved with the type certificate, you remove the safety pin prior to engine start.

The post takeoff flow of “flaps maps caps” is just a mental reminder that flaps should be up, maps should be up and caps is available.

Thanks again. I haven't flown in one, and was going by memories of reading the checklist ages ago.
