Ok, I have not been totaly honest about my most memorable experiences, I should of added
1) Not securing the fuel cap on the fuel tanks so we leaked feul. 2) Nearly and I mean about inches from clipping wings with a stationary aircraft while attempting to park. 3) Conpleteing my first NavEx and Land away. |

2) Nearly and I mean about inches from clipping wings with a stationary aircraft while attempting to park. Wow, there quite majour mistakes! The worst thing I have ever done is forgot to pump the brakes, therefore the aircraft moved forward, but not by too much. |

Wow that's quite serious!! My flying instructor would have given me a stern talking to if I did that!
I hate parking it! I've not (yet) had a problem with that, but I manage to clip the wing mirrors of my car when manouvering in tight spaces, so several feet long wings bolted on either side of me it won't be long before I do something!!

If you keep your nose wheel on the line, your wing trips should be safe. |

Depends how big the parking slot is, and how big the aeroplane is you're parking in it. ![]() |

2005 landing at Colmar (LFGA) as a passenger in a Navajo with only two greens lit up. ATC counted three down so the pilot decided to risk the landing. Scary, but I thought I handled it well, didn't get stressed, no worries, cool and calm. We landed safely and we hired a car and drove into town, super cool, calm and collected.
Ten years later I return to Colmar, by road. Outside the airport there is a 12 metre high replica of the Statue of Liberty. I didn't remember that from my previous visit. I asked how long it had been there? Since 2004, I was told. I might have thought that I was calm and collected, but I somehow manged to blank out a 12 metre high statue. |
