What do pilots do that 'irk' you?

Hi guys and girls,

I have posted three threads along the same lines as this on three forums with the intention of collating the answers and using them as lessons in my CRM courses.

The question is: What is it that pilots do that 'irk' you?

I am sure one of your greatest bugbears is the unserviceability/endorsement on the maintenance release that does not provide enough information for you to chase down the problem.

For example: "Strange noise heard in cockpit."

"What noise? What stage of flight? Whereabouts in the cockpit did you hear it? What did it sound like? Did you hear it over the ICS or through your headphones? A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION PLEASE!

I'm sure there's a lot of instances where a pilot's actions (or inactions) have caused problems - like not reporting overspeeds, or operating the aircraft incorrectly, etc, etc.

Please feel free to vent your spleen. The other forums are in the ATC and D and G Reporting Points and Rotorheads forums under similar titles.

Cheers
ConwayB
