"Whilst a BRS will be a big plus for a Moller type
vehicle, it's something I'm also skeptical about for
regular GA aircraft."

Welllllll..........I don't know about that.

To my eyeball thinking experience, ANY kind of BRS
system is suited for ANY kind of aircraft and it
certainly would be an asset NOT a deficit to equip your
aircraft with it. I know of a couple of stupid accidents
that were caused by senseless errors the pilots made, in
which they bought the farm, had they been equipped with
a BRS they would still be around to enjoy it instead.

I've also heard :-).......of a couple of pilots whom are
flying around cross country, on business, which have a
BRS engineered and installed by a clever somebody :-) in
their "Anarchy controlled steed". Fully removable with
no trace of their existence for annuals of course.

Their reasoning is quite justifiable,......"Save my A-S
FIRST, (which is PRICELESS)............Be around to
worry about  beaurocracy LATER.

The only thing I worry about in the use of the BRS is
pilots relying greatly on it which COULD instill the
pilot with a false sense of security, in turn making him
sloppy. This could grow to a point where pilots will be
punching out if the engine burps....Just think, it could
be raining airplanes in your neighborhood.
