I am not necessarily an advocate of the BRS, I was just commenting on deployment speed.
I am not sure that I would want a BRS on my plane. The circumstances in which
it would be useful are limited:
- Over the mountains, engine out a night is one, but I don't fly over the mountains at night.
- Totally disoriented in the clouds is another, but in that situation being able to slow it down to 160 is problematic.
- Engine out over the water is another and I do fly over water.
On the other hand, if there wasn't too much of a weight and cost penalty I am not
sure that it would be a bad thing.

Which leads to the question: If you have that much control over the airplane, why would you want to pull the chute?
