If you look at a Cirrus it is totaled when you pull the chute. They bury all
the lines under the glass. I had 5 engine out ( Actually 1 was prop and flange
left the plane) 3 over Missouri 1 in the Florida panhandle and 1 at home in
lake Dallas. Every time I either landed on a runway or a pasture. I pushed the
nose over to just above stall speed and road it to the ground. Every time the
plane came home in 1 piece and I had it flying within a month. 3 off those
where VW engines and 1 Was an lyc 85 hp. My last engine was a rebuilt 0-200.
One thing i can say and I will bet Mark agrees that when that prop stops it is
nothing like pulling the power back to practice.

I think most KR folks would answer "too heavy, too expensive, and I'd
rather glide it to the ground". Having done more than my share of
dead-stick landings in a KR, I can tell you that it normally works out
pretty well....at least you are in control of the plane. When you pull
the handle on a chute, you have no idea where or what you will land on,
and your plane will probably die in the process. If you fly it all the
way to the ground, chances are good that you can land on a runway, a
road, or a field, and the plane lives to fly another day. Structural
failures are almost unheard of in KRs.....it's usually the engine. Why
kill an airplane when it's the engine's fault?
