Hey Sunfish,
We must be neck and neck - I'm going for my GFPT next month. I was up early this morning AND yesterday morning hoping the weather would be fine at Bankstown - nope.
Here is a short list of Dumb Things I Have Done if it makes you better;
Sucked on the fresh air vent instead of the stall warning inlet.
Listened to ATIS just to extract the information code without listening to anything else.
Discovered the door was ajar to attempted to open and close again - during the run up while the engine was at 1700 RPM.
Said 'roger' when I meant 'affirm.'
Left my mobile phone switched on until the 'bipbipbipbip' through the David Clarks drove me nuts.
Turned the control yoke instead of using the rudders when taxiing.
Tried to raise the flaps before adding power on a go-around.
Hearing 'line up' as 'cleared to take off' even though I read back 'line up.'
Being told to follow the Cessna on upwind and following the wrong Cessna.
Being told to follow the t-bird and replying 'traffic in sight' without having the faintest idea what a t-bird was.
Good Luck mate.
