Expert in the Right Seat
Good day!
I recently flew my first XC as PIC since getting my PPL. Actually, it was my first time away from my home aerodrome in this country so I brought along an expeiranced pilot "buff". Neadless to say, I had a torterous flight. It starts off with small things, "do you know why the fuel is blue?", "what is the maximum oil quantity she can hold?"...I really don't give a hoot! I just want an pleasure flight.
En-route...where are ya going? To the first waypoint....but you should be flying north....no, that's it ahead of us...oh, I haven't flown here for a long time.
Engine settings...2400RPM, further questioning on why I don't operate at 2500RPM - errrh!!!
Landing - "ok now, I want you to fly her in with power on until touch down", "you're not my instructor, relax", "are we the expert now??"
Has anyone expeiranced this wannbe expert phoenomehna before?
