Emergency Procedures SR20
Expected impact in a fully stabilized deployment is equivalent to a drop
from approximately 10 feet.
• Caution •
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 Section 10: Safety Information of this
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.
