reminded of air ex with partial sighted punter.
In the pre flight brief she could not see the white board from six feet. Brief took place with her nose nearly touching the board.
In the aircraft she did well, again with her nose nearly on the instrument panel, until half way through flight she got excited and decided to fly the AH back on to the index aircraft. Took aircraft off her passing 80 deg bank, her asking have I done anything wrong, hate to think what she would have thought if she could see out of the window.
Also air ex with very small male librarian type (goatee half rim glasses). Asking lots off intelligent questions.
In flight quick recap of the primary flying controls. Followed by you have control let’s try the elevator,
Students response full control column forward resulting in the only time I remember needing a lap strap in a C150 (straight and level to vertical nose down) with some neg G.
Lesson learnt, How to keep your instructor awake on a Sunday afternoon.
