Ballistic Recovery Systems, Inc. (OTC: BRSI) (BULLETIN BOARD: BRSI) ( http://brsparachutes.com/ ), a manufacturer of whole-airplane parachute recovery systems for general aviation and recreational aircraft, announced today it has received the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) from the FAA for the Symphony SA 160. This latest approval, BRS's 4th, is the first one available directly from the aircraft manufacturer as a factory-installed option.
"The patented, light weight, fast-acting BRS parachute system will offer an exceptional degree of safety to the Symphony -- one of the newest high wing FAA Part 23 certified aircraft designs," said Larry E. Williams, BRS CEO. Part 23, of the Federal Aviation Regulations, sets safety and design standards for newly certified aircraft.
"The BRS system is yet another example of the excellent technologies available on the SA 160. We are committed to the rebirth of the two-place market, and are proud to be the first manufacturer of two-place aircraft to offer the parachute installation as a factory option. Our customers appreciate the choices we offer," said Paul Costanzo, Symphony Aircraft President and CEO.
"Cirrus took a revolutionary step in personal aircraft transportation when they made the BRS parachute system, known as CAPS(tm), standard equipment on all of their aircraft. The recent approval for the Symphony has been tested to the same level. I am happy to see Symphony become the first aircraft manufacturer to adopt the BRS parachute as an option on factory new aircraft," said Williams.
