"Gotta go to work.". It's wonderful to hear you say that.

Rip to the pilot. I knew him personally. He loved flying with everything he had.

Sorry to hear the sad news JB. Thanks for updating us. R.I.P.
On another note: You're lookin' great JB. Finally see you all dressed up.
Take care and fly safe. 🤟🏼🖖🏼

Just flew this plane 2 weeks ago. Took my check ride and did most of my training in this plane. Sorry to see it end like this. Prayers for everyone involved.

Always greatly appreciative of your frank, data-driven, unbiased commentary on aviation matters. It's a gift to oft-misinformed media to have an expert able to disseminate facts. Thank you, and best regards for your trip.

SR20 POH climb gradient suggests they would have been at 375 feet at that density altitude approximately 1.5 miles from the runway. CAPS requires 500ft

[lyleparadise]

The official minimum deployment height for Cirrus parachutes is 400 feet agl in level flight or 920 feet in a spin, but factors such as speed affect the altitude required. FAA-certified tests have shown full parachute inflation could occur as low as 260 to 290 feet agl for some aircraft, according to BRS.Mar 1, 2018

So sad! Condolences from Duluth, MN, home of Cirrus.

Thank you Juan for the update. Have a good flight

[dmeemd]

Thank you for all these updates you do, I know it's not easy to talk about all these crashes and the fatalities and injuries related to them, as well as doing your normal career. But damn, there is not a single person on YouTube that does what you do the way you do and as well as you do. Thank you so much for all your dedication and education!! And I'm not the most religious person, for lack of better wording, but my thoughts and prayers are to the friends and families of those involved

Just returned home from 7 day vacation and my notification box is full of Probable Cause, FlyWire, and Blancolirio updates. Not been a good week for GA. My deepest sympathies to family and loved ones of those fatally injured.

[billmoran]

You are the best source of aviation news on the internet. Thanks for all your hard work. Fly safely.

[wsl]

Thank you for taking the time to share info beyond local reporting.

[kevinstone]

I hate to hear of the loss of another pilot and injuries to a passenger. Thank you once again for your continued pursuit of safety in the aviation world. Your videos help new pilots like myself to become more aware of issues. The only way we get better is to learn what went wrong in the first place and how to not do that again.

So sad even with the parachute. Juan you really clean up nicely you look so professional totally different person

[angelreading]

Thanks for fitting this in Juan on your busy schedule, another sad day for aviation with the loss of yet another Cirrus.

[richb]

Thanks for the update. Really gives you something to think about right as you are returning.

[buzzcrockett]

Good to see you working. Sorry about the loss.

[Frankesteinnl]

Pulling the chute at low altitude with forwards momentum, might mean that the pendulum effect of the parachute was the reason for slamming nose first into the ground. Whereas from a higher altitude, the aircraft would have been stabilized underneath the parachute already for a more vertical descent. Condolences to all those involved... hope number 2 recovers well, and also to be able to tell the tale to the rest of us.

[gomphrena-beautifulflower-]

My heartfelt condolences and prayers for the pilot’s family, and prayers for the surviving pilot’s full and complete recovery. Thanks for letting us know, Juan. We know you hate to report this.
