aclark79,
I hate that, have had that happen to me a couple of times too, you would swear it was on ... of course better to treat it as an actual then to assume it is just lighting.
Has anyone else ever had something get caught on the mains?
I remember now a flight for my solo checkout with the chief pilot, and whilst coming into the flare, all of a sudden there was a racket like one had never heard before from the aircraft, rpm and other gauges were ok, no lights, I set down normally. we shut off the gov, and rolled down throttle.
We had picked up a Lays potato chip bag, a .5 pounder, funny how it was wrapped around the blade, not sliced, I suppose they really make 'em tough lately ...
