How about if you don't know why the chute was installed then ####. Cirrus saying that their chute was there as an additional safety feature is marketing BS, they killed their chief test pilot during spin testing because he couldn't get out of a spin. If the lead test pilot on the program, who had had more hours in the Cirrus then you do thinking about airplanes, then what makes you think YOU could get out of a spin in a Cirrus hot shot?
