Revision A1 - Cirrus SR20 Pilot Operating Handbook

Section 3
Emergency Procedures
Expected impact in a fully stabilized deployment is equivalent to a drop
from approximately 10 feet.
CAPS deployment will likely result in damage or loss to the
airframe.
Several possible scenarios in which the activation of the CAPS would
be appropriate are discussed in
Handbook. These include:
• Mid-air collision
• Structural failure
• Loss of control
• Landing in inhospitable terrain
• Pilot incapacitation
All pilots should carefully review the information on CAPS activation
and deployment in Section 10 before operating the airplane.
