What not to say to a passenger
I took a member of my family once to fly when I was building hours on my PPL. As we approached the Humber Bridge I spotted Goole and pointed out if we had an engine failure I'd land there. To say they shait themselves would be understatement! They didn't even think an engine failure was possible! A number of questions and insults followed..
The lesson I learnt was prior to the flight the brief, I.e what to do in an emergency is vital. Also reassure engine failures in the air are rare.
Lastly don't ever think out aloud!
Anyone like to share their story?
