Getting towards mid-sixties, I suppose it's reasonable to expect a few minor "
senior moments". But it's slightly more alarming when it involves the hobby of aviation !
On Saturday last the weather was glorious, and I flew around our local area for just over an hour. Did a smooth landing, refuelled, parked, paid for fuel . . . . . . . and then
went home leaving the master switch still on ! ! ! Because it was so sunny, the rotating tail beacon was not obvious, and was not spotted for over two more hours ! Result : battery completely flat !
In over 23 years of flying same plane (and had PPL 26 years) I have NEVER done this before. Just so embarrassing !
Anyone else got any "
senior moments" they are willing to admit to and tell others about on here ?
