Thanks Jonzarno for sharing this experience, and glad for you came out unhurt. I read your full account on the FLYER Forum, you mention a few times training on simulator, and also this sentence:
if I hadn't had CAPS AND THE TRAINING on how and when to use it: I might well not have been able to write this.
It is the training how to use it part that I am worried about : In 2 of the Flying clubs, I belong we have Ultra lights with BRS and . when there is no wind, I regularly fly one of them for fun. . Training on the BRS consisted in both clubs, in reding a small 4-5 pages leaflet and then signing a form that you had read and understood it. Most of the text referred to the dangers of its pyrotechnics, but not really on how to use it in an emergency.
If you have the time , could you tell us what you learn in the sim that helped you ? . Most aeroclubs do not have ( easy) access to simulators .
