As a private pilot and soon to be FI, I was intrigued with the conversation in the club house recently. Some experienced pilots were discussing their 'moments' in the air. I found it fascinating.
I also remember when I first got my licence a couple of years ago, an older pilot with 50+ years experience said to me 'now you'll learn to fly'
It made me think that this would be a great thread to start on pprune -
What frightening experiences have you had when flying and what lessons have you learned from them?
Weather/failures/human error
I would be interested to hear from commercial and private pilots
please share your flying stories
*mods* feel free to move this thread if you think it would be best elsewhere
