More than once...
- An aircraft in flight test which was showing a strong disinclination to recover from a spin.
- Rolling inverted at FL250 in a Tucano, looking up at the ground 5 miles above my head, as something gave way in my harness and I suddenly dropped about half an inch before stopping.
- Having a pillock in a PA28 come up in my 6 O'clock on short finals in a microlight and shooting past me half a wingspan away (I started a thread about this at the time, and believe it will be in the next batch of CHIRP reports).
- Being rolled inverted in wake turbulence when I was a pre-solo Bulldog student on a UAS.
- Sat in the back seat of a Jaguar landing with a u/s nosegear light and a full 1200 litre centreline droptank - and not sure whether it was the undercarriage light at fault, or we really didn't have a locked down nosewheel.
- And routinely whenever flying as a 19 year old Cadet with a Flt.Lt. D**** T*****, the most unnerving QFI ever employed by the RAF (now long retired, and possibly dead, but his ex-students still mention him and shudder).
- Plus several other incidents which were largely due to my own stupidity and I shall keep to myself.
