Most pilots flying today have access to the aircraft parachute, which allows them to eject and float to the ground in the case of plane trouble.

Eject?

LOL. That should read "most multimillionaire pilots who can afford to spend big bucks on a new Cirrus which performs similarly to a 1960-something Bonanza or Mooney, have access to an aircraft parachute which can save their bacon while rendering the aircraft a total loss."

Sometimes I can't decide whether half the online articles I read are written by clever computers or ignorant writers.

Great info, Tony. I'll keep in in mind once I become a multi millionaire w/ an extra 100k to blow.
