This TV series consists of extreme challenges, to be accomplished by the host. Among others, swimming across the British channel, climbing the 'El Capitan' in Yosemite, ski-jumping off the big Garmisch-Partenkirchen ski-jump. Aviation related, he had to build and fly his own foot-launched glider at the Wasserkuppe and in the episode seen here, performing a couple of t&g's in a B737 without the FI intervening. Probably the least risky of them all...
However it caused quite a stir up to the Belgian parliament. Belgian CAA started an investigation, but couldn't find anything illegal: he had passed his medical, took the PPL theory exams and had a valid SPL. Went solo on the Cirrus and performed many B737 sim training sessions. The actual t&g’s at EBOS with chief pilot/FI in LHS and extra FI in the jump seat, produced spectacular TV but was probably the safest ‘stunt’ he did.
