Apparently "14 of the aircraft involved in CAPS deployments have been repaired and put back into service".

"Revision A7 of the Cirrus SR22 POH currently states "CAPS deployment is expected to result in damage to the airframe" that updates the earlier language that "The system is intended to saves the lives of the occupants but will most likely destroy the aircraft."

It sounds like it's repairable in *some* cases, or the CAPS have gotten better.. Cool !! This is the thing that will bring me back to general aviation...
