7.9 Ballistic Recovery System Warning – Within pilot’s view
Occupant Warning
The parachute recovery system installation has been
approved by BMAA on the basis that, as far as is
practicable to demonstrate, it will create no hazard to the
aeroplane, its occupant(s) or ground personnel whilst the
system is not deployed; and that when properly maintained,
the risk of malfunction, deterioration or inadvertent
deployment is minimised. The BMAA has not approved the
system itself or considered the circumstances, if any, in
which it might be deployed. The effectiveness of the system
for the safe
recovery of the aeroplane has not been demonstrated.
