It stopped them from flying into a thunderstorm. Does that count as a "save"?"AIRCRAFT WAS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING WHILE IN THE RUN UP AREA AND THE PARACHUTE DEPLOYED, MIAMI, FL."

I vaguely recall another such incident.

They should mark the spots on the airports where this happened? Because we all know lightning never strikes in the same place twice.

Wouldn't it be hard to take off with the 'chute deployed.??
That’s why it was a save.

That’s how the PPC was invented.

Good that you were able to see the “positive” side…

This is beginning to remind me of that thread where the plane full of dogs landed on a golf course (or something like that)...

It kinda reminds me of something that would have been on a Road Runner cartoon. If the pilot's first name isn't "Wile", it should be.

How long do you think the plane will be grounded?

I'm sure I would have discharged in my shorts.

The current entered the plane through the static port. The MX shop is going to charge him an arm and leg.

The pilot couldn’t be interviewed after the incident. He was late for work and had to bolt.

Just like the $15k that was vaporized from the pilot's bank account for the parachute re-pack

More than that now, I think. And that assumes that no further damage was done to the airframe and/or electronics.Just like the $15k that was vaporized from the pilot's bank account for the parachute re-pack
Hopefully covered by insurance, and not exempted by some “Act of God” clause.

As upset as he'll be, resistance is futile.

Covering pilot accidental deployment but not covering static discharge induced deployment, would certainly be one nasty moral hazard of a precedent.
My guess is it'll get covered. Im sure even a zero zero deployment tears enough chit back there to qualify for airframe damage claim.
