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?
