The invention belongs to the technical field of aircraft control and particularly relates to an autonomous parachute opening safety protection method and 
system for a small aircraft. A reliable safety protection 
algorithm is provided, the 
flight height, the flight attitude and 
system electric quantity are used as input variables, a 
gas generator detonation control command and a power source management command are used as output variables, meanwhile, the flight attitude and 
system electric quantity information affecting 
system safety work are taken into consideration, meanwhile, a denotation 
signal and power 
electricity are controlled, and safety is improved. The principle is simple, and no matter in the aspects of 
software implementation or hardware implementation, no obstacles exist. The system is simple in structure, easy to implement and low in cost. The 
threat caused by flight attitude unstability to 
flight safety is fully considered, the 
threat caused by too low electric quantity to 
flight safety is considered as well, meanwhile, damage possibly caused by an unfolded 
canopy to rotors is considered, and the effectiveness of the system is fully improved. The method and system have great market prospects and economic value.
