What To Wear When Flying!!!!

[Chilli Monster]

perhaps with the addition of a baseball cap

On a serious note - a read of the latest GASIL suggests this isn't such a good idea due to reduced upwards peripheral vision. I tried once, found the peak very distracting for this very reason and have never worn one since.

Wear whatever you're comfortable in.

This time of year, Jeans and T shirt or shorts and T shirt for me.

I believe it is tradition in the USA, for female pilots on passing the GFT to do the first flight topless. This is a tradition I think we should bring to the UK

Englishal is the only one to have got the right answer.

[Dave Gittins]

If I'm actually doing the driving, I just wear whatever I normally would. If I'm SLF though, I have a particularly old pullover with Dan-Air on the left breast which I favour.

As I can normally truthfully say I have been commanding air borne machines for longer than the captain of said 777 or whatever, it gives me something of a feeling of superiority.

Sad really.

[Wessex Boy]

I wear my old RAF issue Flying Boots, Fat-Face trousers (cotton with pockets in the same place as a gro-bag) and a cotton polo shirt.
Comfy, practical and with some fire retardancy. Also I don't scare the Pax into feeling under-dressed

See, I told you it was fun.

a sense of proffesionalism

Often the best way to appear professional is to learn how to spell it.

I personally like Beagle's suggestion and shall adopt it as soon as my VP2 becomes airworthy - one needs an open cockpit to do that attire justice.

St Helier,
Ask your FI if you try his or her gear on in front of a mirror, and see how you feel,if you get my meaning.
A Proban jump suit would look good,not be too expensive and could save you from bad carpet burns.
But I'm sure you would be great in a PA28 whatever you choose.

Another suggestion...

Pop across to Ebay and take a look at Item number: 260134475028

Would appreciate feedback from you folks regarding whether this is suitable attire for low levelinterdiction missions in my Rans S6 ?

You could always try reversing the cap, especially if it has a Burberry pattern. I understand this 'look' is very popular with younger people

[Final 3 Greens]

Only if combined with ref 260134475028

1) Would interfere with the headrest

2) Makes wearing it a pointless exercise

3) You just look a tw@t (Is this why Chav and C**t have the same number of letters )

Irony - it's just wasted, isn't it?!

[S-Works]

I prefer, stockings and a mini skirt. Oh hang on I misread the title, when flying........

[maxdrypower]

AV8r , I think that should be worn with Bose-x's chosen attire whilst leaping onto some nubile wench from atop the wardrobe screammingggg banzai !!!!

[microlight AV8R]

Well, you don't think I'd wear for flying do you ?

[maxdrypower]

No No No thought never entered my head

[davidatter708]

Rofl BEagle. I have often thought about buying an RAF helmet and using it in a cessna. Not just because I think they are awesome but are expensive as a decent headset and have 2 types of sunglasses and if u get a bit breathless open the window and stick the breathing nozzle out. But how practical would it be? anyone out there do it or thought about it? The other thing do you think my flying club would giuve me a bit of stick or not

What does rofl mean?

Don't listen to anyone who gives you stick, if that's what you feel comfortable in then you go for it; perhaps eBay item 260134961839 could be supplied for passengers so that your attire didn't make them feel nervous.

The only problem with the full helmet is that it can make 190128821344 difficult to wear but you can always combine them with 110145058189 when safely back on terra firma.

J.A.F its text speak means rolling on the floor laughing

[J.A.F.O.]

Thanks Max - my daughters show me how to send a text message every now and then but I am not particularly competent - my mobile telephone tries to guess what you want to say next and so SHALL WE MEET AT THE THEATRE always seems to be SHORT WIFE MAKES A TEA TRAY and, while that might be factual, it doesn't quite sum up what I intended to say.
