Instructors - any favourite "bon mots" ?
Doesn't have to be a QFI of course, any old salt with words of wisdom to trainees will do.
A couple of my favourites:
"Why are you rushing your landing, the ground isn't going anywhere".
---------
Trainee - "I see we are on a weather hold sir, perhaps I could take you to lunch"
Instructor - "You don't know enough to take me to lunch"
--------
Instructor in tower to student pilot on first solo - "there is an aircraft on the runway, go around."
Student - "Roger" (continues approach)
Instructor - "Repeat, there is an aircraft on the runway GO AROUND"
Student - "Roger" (student lands, taxis up to a big twin sitting on the runway, and goes around it)
Some of those may be apocryphal, but you get the idea.
(in hindsight maybe this should be in Jet Blast - apologies)
