Strikes me there is a great idea here for another thread which could be really interesting.
This was a single pilot plane. Just habit on his part, and trying to be helpful, and then forgetting it
I can understand that very well; if I were a passenger in a light plane I'd be keen to help too ! But we have just read the PERFECT reason why on any given flight one should be a pilot, or a passenger, but not both !
Q. Multi-crew flights need CRM; single crew flights need "
no-touch" passengers ? Discuss.
(either this thread, or maybe someone will start a new one ! )
