Cyrus,
To fit a Ballistic
Recovery System (BRS) parachute, here’s some of what you’d need to do:
Finish the form 337 and
get it approved by the FAA.
Buy the chute. http://brsparachutes.com/
$5,995
for the BRS Softpack HD unit for
aircraft up to 1500 lb.
$5,895
for the Light Sport Aircraft unit for aircraft up to 1350 lb.
Mount the chute in a
place where it can shoot out of the airframe, such as through a rear window. Make sure that it’s aimed to go through
something that’ll let it through.
Have mounting points for
the four strap ends that are strong enough to take the load.
Route the straps from
each mounting point along the outside of the aircraft and in through the side
of the aircraft to the BRS unit.
Cover the straps and
paint the strap covers to fit the plane’s paint job.
I like the idea of a
chute and have one for the UL trainer / ELSA I’m building. (They’re a lot less
expensive in the smaller weight, slower airspeed models.)

Can any parachute for aircraft (BSR) be fitted to the coupe? legally or illegally?When a portable moving map display can show an artificial horizon, where is it getting it's information? I'm assuming the device must also be fixed to the aircraft?Cyrus
