To legally install a ballistic recovery system (whole aircraft parachute) you must demonstrate the system works by deploying one on the type certificated aircraft for which an STC is being sought (how many type certificates are there for Coupes?).

My understanding is you do not have to ride the test chute all the way to the ground and typically they are cut away and the aicraft flown to a normal landing for the test. Not that this makes it a whole lot simpler...
