I was delayed over 3 hours by a 30 year old woman copilot who forgot her purse somewhere and had to wait for a telex from the FAA for her ticket.
She was flying with another captain and stuck in KMDW.
As I picked up the second half of the trip, she was my copilot from KIAD to KMDW and I briefed the approach. Circling to land (VMC ) at night in snow. Made approach to runway 4, made right traffic for 13 and I told her as soon as we start to circle and leave the first localizer, to tune up the landing runway ILS and slew the HSI course selector to the landing runway course.
She said she had never heard of that.
When we got on the ground I explained to her that using an ILS at night to confirm glideslope and proper runway at a critical length field might be a good idea...and as she was just sitting there would it be too much trouble for her to do it.
She was 30 and didn't know too much about flying or about keeping track of her purse.
