Botched handoffs
Just as important to know who is flying before you take off. Many
years ago on a bungee-launching hill expedition, I watched two pilots climb into a Ka7 with the instructor briefing the pupil as they strapped in. As the glider rolled forward the wing went down and it gracefully ground looped downhill, bending the fuselage at 90 degrees in the process. Instructor leapt out saying 'Why didn't you pick up the wing?' Pupil: 'I thought you were flying.' They then went into a huddle to get the story straight for the accident report....

Botched handoffs
A very experienced instructor told me a story once where he and another very experienced instructor
ended up doing 3 tail slides when both thought the other was Flying. Both were Aust level 3 instructors, which are those who train instructors. It can happen to the best of use. Personally, I strictly follow the my aircraft/your aircraft protocol, but everyone makes mistakes. |
