Parachutes for Planes up to 5,000#

A parachute. It’s the solution to a problem unique and inherent to aviation – the problem of how to save your life in the event of an in-flight emergency when all other options have been exhausted. A BRS aircraft parachute recovery system is the technological innovation that can make the difference between a tragic crash or a happy ending.

Flying is an exhilarating experience, but the sky can be an unforgiving atmosphere. In the event of:

• mid-air collision
• structural failure
• control failure
• loss of control
• engine failure at night or over rough terrain
• engine failure over water
• complete electrical failure in low visibility conditions or at night
• flight control jamming
• pilot incapacitation

the BRS parachute is there for the safety of you and your passengers. A BRS system is so easy to operate – a simple handle pull – that any non-pilot can also activate the parachute should the need arise.

Founded in 1981, BRS manufactures airframe parachutes for a wide variety of aircraft ranging from ultra-lights to the top-selling certified production Cirrus airplanes, where an airframe parachute is a built-in standard safety feature. Additional certified installations exist for Cessna and Symphony Aircraft. In the newest category of aircraft - LSA (Light Sport) - BRS systems have become integrated and are now standard on Flight Design's Model CT aircraft and an option on nearly every one of the 23 ASTM certified aircraft. Worldwide, more than 20,000 parachute systems have been installed.

The BRS vision is the same today as it was 25 years ago: to create the highest quality aviation parachute systems for the enhancement of safety for the flying public. We’re committed to aviation safety and it’s our goal that someday a parachute recovery system will be as commonplace as today’s airbags are in the modern automobile.
