Ok for 182 floatplane ?

I have also considered this. I can not give up the baggage space. Well maybe I would if the engine quit? Too late.

I like the idea, and it might even enhance resale value; a plane with a parachute. The repack cost is unreasonable for me, and as for the $20K initial cost, I have a Continental powered 182 and could easily get a $20K surprise during an annual, so I need to be prepared for that possibility rather than spending it on a chute.

Thanks for all your information Keith, it's a tempting upgrade.

The Arctic Air portable real AC unit would fit. Would take up all the remaining baggage space. I have one in my Bonanza. Works pretty good for the cost.

Makes sense as it's rally like a half engine. :7)

Curious as to future maintenance. How frequently do the cord cutters, rockets, shoot repack need service in this application?

Wondering if it's the same as a SR-22>

Yes, I believe that it is the same inspection/repack program as the SR22. It may even be the same chute just with different connection straps for the Cessna.

One thing I am not certain of is if you must do the inspections. Since this is add on, some have said that you could mark it inop and avoid the repack. I am not certain that is the case.

Jon:

I am not certain, it would be best to call BRS to check.

The 182RG is not certified for the chute, so the undercarriage must be important to the STC.
