Default CFI oral intel

I recall one particular sad incident where a Pilatus Porter dropping
jumpers lost the yoke - it literally came off in the pilot's hands.
The pilot elected to bail out (which was, IMO, the wrong call - a
plane can be landed with rudder, throttle, and trim). His parachute
malfunctioned, and the pilot died.


I'll file this under: "You know you're having a bad day when..."
