|

A Haiti bound Cirrus SR22 over the Atlantic Ocean suddenly experienced a loss of oil pressure while cruising at 9200 feet. The pilot realized that he was unable to safely glide to land and his only option was a water landing. Unfortunately, water landings usually end up with the aircraft flipping over when they hit the water. Fortunately, the Cirrus SR22 was equipped with a ballistic chute and was deployed successfully. Both the pilot and his passenger survived the incident.
