ZK010 deployed brake chute on landing after several touch an go's. Im not sure if this is a regular occurance. I didn't even know they had them!

They are required to deploy the chute every couple of weeks on each aircraft.

Thanks for sharing, you learn something every day, are there any other aircraft that may have these 'chutes that we don't know about?
