Thanks for the link.
The pilot's decision making is also interesting.
Loss of alternator not deteced for c.a. 20 minutes.
Then pilot sees battery low alert, and consider continuing to destination.
Then pilot decides not to land on the aerodrome directly under him, but continue to another airport for the sake of convenient repair.
Then engine power is gone before reaching the diversion aerodrome, so pilot decides to make a precautionary off-aerodrome landing at a suitable spot.
Then pilot activates BRS chute at too low altitude, without remembering it.

Being caught off guard in the first place seems to be a trigger for a lot of bad choices later on. Those who have the benefit of detecting the problem earlier are better at assessing the implications and making up a better action plan, I guess.
