Bad ideas...

Eating a big meal right before going to work under the panel of a light aircraft

Not eating anything before a night on the town

attempting to answer a question that includes "...does this make me look fat..."

[tundra_flier]

Ha ha ha ... Ooooh... don't make me laugh.    

But hey, I have a tach again.  Now if I can just remember which holes all the rest of the stuff came out of

I think you actually started a pretty cool thread there tundra:


Bad ideas in aviation!

care to keep it going?


. . . going out for a big burger lunch before you take your pedestrian buddy for his first flight ever !

Then Performing any manuver that starts with any of the phrases:

"Hey, watch this!"
"Hang On!"
"Bet you can't do this in your sports car"

Or Even mentioning the word "puke" to a sick passenger.

Back talking to a instructor while doing a power on stall at night.....

...go flying with your partner during a quarrel...(at least with a low wing aircraft.....)...

I take it you've done that?

How about believeing the weather briefer when he says a thunderstorm is stationary and shouldn't be a factor?

Oh oh! that's something that happened me, and I flew for more or less 47 minutes instead of the 7 needed that were missing the day before my PPL exam!

What does a low wing have to do with it?  Harder to throw him out?

Hehe! I see you can read in a woman's mind! Yes, that was actually what I had in mind!

Hahahahahahahahahahaa, ah man I love women's humour

For real though (as I seriously hope the other part was a joke, unless he had on a parachute), it does make the point  "..then get out and walk" a lot more convincing when the man can see the ground underneath doesn't it?

Well my dear, I once stopped the car in the middle of the road and yelled to the person who was sitting near me (it was a kind of ""boyfriend"", but a really a badly chosen one, kind of "week long relationship", nothing to do with love) "get the hell out of there!!!!". in the case I was writing about, it was instead the most important relationship I ever had, that - actually - ended unexpectedly........as soon as we landed. so....it would not have been a so bad idea to throw him out, after all. And yes, without parachute! So, thinking about it, there were two bad ideas: the first the fact I went flying (I did hundreds of craps during that flight. Feeling the rotten atmosphere, I was not actually concentrating on flying and it's a bad thing) and second.......I should not have repressed my homicidal tendencies.......
