I am trying to remember where I heard this from but I cannot recall at the moment. I heard about a certain Cirrous (not sure exact model) but the left aileron got stuck completely and then broke and put this plane in a downward spin. Apparently the pilot pulled a handle and the cockpit, or escape pod if you would like to call it, detached away from the airplane and a parachute deployed, which let it safely sail to the ground. The pilot got away unharmed and landed on a golf course. Anyone first of all heard of this story or know about this special escape pod thingy? I was wondering if people even feel any safer with it or anything like that?
