"You have control" - Blatant Dishonesty
“Wings to me, Balls to You” - Factually Cheeky - Checking Turn indicator and slip ball whilst taxiing.
"I'm not feeling too good, so be gentle with me and fly like an angel" - Pathetically Pleading
"If you hadn't messed it up.... you wouldn't have had to recover" - Honest & Open - I was sweating and terrified after getting myself in, and out, of my first nose down stall.
“Where’s the airfield?” - Stupid question – How do I know??
“Don’t just sit and pass the exams and immediately forget it” - To the Point
“No more solo flying until you can tell me how the static system works” – Oooops!!
“You’ll go faster if you raise the flaps” - Aerodynamically Correct
“That was the worst circuit you’ve ever done” - Brutally Truthful - Well….…I have to laugh about it, ‘cos the alternative is to cry.
And then the “You’re being set up to do something you may not like” comments………
“You’re flying well today”
“Nice Landing”
“Now you’re showing off”
They may not be funny to you………..But they are to me!!!
