C'est là que la formation sur Cirrus a dramatiquement changé ces dernières années et qui a résulté dans une diminution de 300% des accidents mortels. Si il y a une quelconque indication de problème moteur entre 500' et 2000' AGL au décollage, c'est ZERO troubleshooting. CAPS immédiatement. 500' AGL c'est là qu'on remonte les volets, donc le call-out "FLAPS and CAPS" pour se rappeler que le CAPS est maintenant possible. À dessus de 2000' AGL, tu prends du temps à faire un peu de troubleshooting.
Voici un document très intéressant:

Hazardous Attitudes Create Obstacles Related to CAPS
Hazardous attitudes can create indecision for the pilot which can be deadly. In an emergency situation
the pilot must have the mindset that he or she will use CAPS, without hesitation, when needed in
an emergency.
• “Off airport landing is safer”
- 60 kts stall vs. 17 kts with CAPS = 12 times more energy to dissipate. After parachute
deployment, a Cirrus aircraft will be descending vertically at approximately 17 kts. During
an attempted landing into a field, the slowest touchdown speed is approximately 60 kts, the
stall speed of the aircraft. Potentially far less energy may be transferred to the airframe and
passengers in a CAPS landing than during an off airport landing at stall speed.
• “Save the Airplane”
- Why? Airplanes can be replaced; people cannot. If that is not convincing enough, many
insurance companies will waive deductibles for CAPS deployments as a reward for the use of
this safety device. They would rather keep you as a customer then deal with your estate.
• “Real pilots don’t need a parachute”
- Some pilots wrongly believe that their piloting ability can get them out of any emergency
situation safely, or that traditional emergency procedures are preferred over using CAPS.
The military’s installation of and use requirement for ejection seats provides an example of
professional, highly trained pilots using a different approach to save the pilot’s life, while
sacrificing the aircraft.
