Some of us would disagree. But that would require a different list.>>
Hi Richard,
didn`t mean to upset anyone but religion is called `a faith` precisely
because unlike oil it cannot be objectively tested. I think we should not
pursue this here but if you would like a friendly joust with an confirmed
sceptic I am here at pj.ladd@btinternet .com
Cheers

Hi Richard,
the subject of BRS crops up quite a lot on the list. Are they mandatory
in the US? I think they are compulsory in Germany, well it would be,
but here in the UK very few are fitted.
I had one many years ago on a Thruster but never bothered on the
Challenger and hve no intention of fitting one to the Xtra. In the UK
part of the reason is the weight limit, no extra allowance is made for a
BRS but it just does not seem to be considered that important. I have
never heard pilots discussing them.
An aircraft breaking up in flight is almost, but not quite, unheard of
and just having an engine pack up is not normally a reason to use the
BRS.
Cheers
Pat

Not mandatory at all. I have one on mine, but here in the mountains of E
Tennessee and especially the terrain between where I live and TNK
factory, if an engine quits, a parachute might become a viable option.
There are places where there is genuinely no place to land. But aside
from that, I agree, loss of an engine is mostly just a great nuisance.

Brother and Sister Aviators,
At the suggestion of Hans van Alphen, I've updated the website so that the
columns can be sorted by the user. Click a column heading to sort by that
item, and click the same one again to reverse the sort.
Please be aware that to make this work properly I had to change the name
field to show the last name first.
My mates and I were no go due to wx this morning. We had IMC here until 0900
and by then the wind at altitude was blasting at 23kts, almost direct
headwind for our route of flight. Oh, well! Saved some pennies on gas, I
guess.

Most Kolb pilots eat food but are not food producers.
Just offering another irrelevant Kolb fact.

Do you count food produced for self-consumption?
Just finished a big glob of collards (a yankee yet!) steamed
and drenched with olive oil, white vinegar, Louisiana sauce,
and bacon bits. some of us here like greens too.
-Went good with roast beef panini.
Sincere? apologies for straying from approved subject matter.

Re: correct installation of BRS:
In addition to reading the manual, contact BRS, give
them the make/model of your ultralight, and they will
send you a diagram of exactly where to mount it. They
also ask you to send them photos of the mounting, so
that they can help you determine whether or not it's
correctly mounted.
About 15 years ago I was flying back from the EAA
Arlington (WA) airshow, and one of my fellow pilots
radio'd that he'd lost all his controls. We were over
trees and about to cross over the Columbia River. He
pulled his chute (on a J-3 Kitten) and was able to
come down without injury.
Like some of the rest of you, I consider my BRS an
insurance policy for those times when I'm flying over
an area with no landing spots.
