Hope everyone is ok
Near Cable Airport.
Near Cable Airport.
Too close for sure!Only a block from my house. Even got a call from the elementary school that my kid attends. Pretty scary.
This happens about once a decade..
I don’t know about that. A plane crashed into a house pretty close to me in Yorba Linda earlier this year.
News is saying the pilot died
And the Parachute deployed after impact.
Dylan (whiteworks) was just posting pics about flying with his buddy yesterday to catalina. I know they fly out of that airport.
That one is from Hawaii. Different crash
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'.
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.
