Hey there,
Just trying to amuse myself really, and also trying to gather comfort in the fact that there might be people out there like myself with the same unusual habits.... here goes..... (Don’t laugh!)
Ok, flying in the circuit on solo time towards my 45hrs for the PPL, I find that in order to concentrate I automatically talk to myself
For example, on the downwind I find myself saying out loud in a weird 'game show host' type voice: "Brakes, areeeeee ok! Undercarriage issss fixed, mixture - that's rich!" etc etc.
I just hope that I haven't accidentally depressed the push to talk button on the yolk which would give an embarrasing reaction in the tower!!
So do any other pilots, when alone - or with pax, talk to themselves as a means of concentrating as hard as possible?!
Please don’t refer to me as 'the insane one now'
