When you can not leave your plane alone at some airports because your fuel is going to be stolen...

When you are expected to take 6 adults, full fuel, a tractor clutch disk, 50kg of food and 80kg of other stuff up in a C210 and you now you are going to have a hard time getting other flights if you dont do so...

When ATC asks you to land on a the paralell taxiway to allow an airliner to land on the main runway at the same time becouse they messed up the sequence.....

When you know allmost all other pilots on frequency personaly....

When some pilots of the local airline lie about their position to be nr one for landig (no radar)...

When you dont know if your transponder is working becouse you never use it since there is no single radar in the whole country....
