A CAPS-safe that is…
Both occupants are OK. Chute was activated FL200. No further details known for now.

Must have taken quite some time to “land” on the ground…
Maybe loss of control on dive? or spin?

About 9 minutes I’d say!
Looks clearly out of bounds to me…

Why ? System worked as advertised, no ?
According to local media plane had an engine failure.
Not sure if the CAPS was deployed at FL200. You would expect to see a trajectory in the same direction as the wind.
At FL200 the speed drops below 70kts. After that the plane loses altitude and speed increases > 200kts. Loss of control?

I think it was deployed way bellow that, I would say bellow 5000ft from FR24 tracks? probably I am guessing too much, but that FR24 profile seems to have 2min power loss with an AP sitting on ALT?
Already heard rumours he/she pulled at 1000’. That makes sense. At that altitude you’d still be IMC today and a conventional forced landing seems impossible.
