So you're saying I don't need to know what colour flares I should be throwing out of the window of my aircraft when I get into problems?
I went on a sailing holiday once.
It was mostly messing around in boats and drinking in tavernas, but there was also a little training.
Towards the end of the holiday we had a session on emergency procedures, including use of flares. "What flares," we asked. "The ones in a plastic bag tied to the front of the mast under the foredeck" they told us.
None of us had spotted them and none of us knew they were there.
Similarly I don't know where to find the flares in my rented 172
