and then there's the old chestnut which gets the passengers worried - turning in hold with B747 1000' above or below.
The more so the smaller the aircraft you're in. I'll always remember watching a BA B747 holding over Daventry in a left turn heading towards the G-159 I was in. It was, and crossed, 1000 below - but it sure didn't look like it would when first sighted.
