"...one also needs a pilot accessible switch
to override the "squat" switch, if any. ES and Legacy FG pilots will
have to use something else, a boat anchor perhaps."
This is, admittedly, a neophyte's question, but as
Lancairs are such slick little beasts, is there any reason not to install/use a
drag chute (a la Air Force) for those emergencies that a squat switch override
might be called for? If a Cirrus can free fall gently with a big one,
wouldn't a smaller deployable chute stop an overrun safely?
One would probably have to ensure the triggering
device were dependent on the squat switch being already
activated.
