On a humorus side there was a nightstop earlyer this year
where we landed just before an impending typhoon of 60
odd knots was going to hit. The brand new kid (but with
500 hrs twin Comanche) was concerned with the banging
around of the flight controls as the passage of the typh
was to be initialy rear quartering to our parking direction.
I mentioned just to leave the park brake on to prevent
any weathercocking tendancy and the engineers will take
care of the rest.
After getting my overnight bag from down the back I
returned to the cockpit to find the proud FO had VERY
skilfuly wrapt his seat belt around his sidestick with left
aileron up/elevator down and also sugested switching on
the Blue override to add aditional security.
Christ I had to laugh at that one!
