Mile High Club (Poll)

[201er]

I'm posting this one on behalf of Chris, Marauder, who was just dying for a topic to share his side of the story.

 

Soo... any interesting stories here? O:-)

I thought that's why they made an auto pilot?

[Marauder]

You got to start with defining "Mile High Club". Are we talking about the Bill Clinton version or something else?

 

"I did not have sexual relations with that passenger"

[201er]

I think the main issue the FAA would see with this is receiving compensation while exercising the privileges of private pilot! I think you gotta be at least commercial pilot for this sort of behavior.

I would be too worried about a "LOAD" shift.

Unless you're attempting to become a member by yourself, the autopilot will be very unsteady and need adjusting....or so I'm told  .

 

The Bill Clinton passive style, while very enjoyable I'm sure, doesn't earn you Mile High wings. You gotta 'do it' the old fashioned way.

I have not been able to configure the aircraft/pilot/passenger to accomplish this maneuver. Any insight would be helpful.

Mooney too small,pilot too big,passenger too winey

[FlyDave]

Here's how from Monty Python:

 

The lady lies with her left leg planted firmly on the ground and the right hand waiting. The gentleman with the melon switches on the battery and places his left thigh on the edge of the swivel table, keeping the neck of the stuffed goose......(fades away)

Yes, I have never had any sympathy for the people who say that a Mooney is smaller inside than other aircraft (i.e. Bonanza or Piper), except for the space available for that particular maneuver. It also would make it difficult to maintain scan.

The problem I encountered with the MHC is that the amount of onboard "turbulence" I create causes the AP to disconnect...

Perhaps a partner who is under 300 lbs. would help

Turn off Alt Hold . . . Mine doesn't have that feature to worry about.

Now leave your wife out of this!   Back at Ya!

[yvesg]

Several years ago we (wife and I) took some friends up (a couple) of years ago... and chit chat etc. at some point we were discussing how they would pay for the ride... and I told her... you need to remove your shirt.... she did...

BTW, how can I edit my posts? Cannot fix my typos in the above message.

Note to all of you self-proclaimed Mile High Club members... Doing it in a Mooney Mite doesn't count.

I heard the best attribute of a single-seat airplane was the quality of the social experience

I knew there was a reason I really wanted to get my commerical rating finished!

......and did it go down hill from there?

[Alan Fox]

Does on the wing of a DA40 in the community hanger count??????

[yvesg]

......and did it go down hill from there?

No it didn't. I sometimes was dreaming about having the wife take care of me while piloting... and then I imaginated this potential report from TSB (Canadian NTSN):

Aircraft Mooney C-FQKM was destroyed in what seem to be flight control into terrain during fire emergency. Aircraft was destroyed by fire. The aircraft extinguisher has been fully discharged to presumably combat a cockpit fire during flight . The pilot had his pants and underwear undone which might presumably have been an attempt to complete the fire estinguishing biologically, not completely put by the chemical device. The passenger did not wear her shirt, presumably used to also attempt estinguing the fire....

Saint-Peters, at the doors of heaven asks the pilot: OK... ok... what really happened?

Pilot to say: Yes she took off her shirt to get me excited.... as she started to take care of me, I had some leg jerks and with my left leg, I hit the fire estinguisher that is bolted right. in front of my seat on the pilot side. This thing went all its way.... we lost all visibility with that white powder fogging all the cockpit. With no visibility I ran onto that cliff!

NOT SO Not so 201er.... Just claim you were only getting 1/2 of the benefit and still had all the cost!!!   ergo Commercial Pilot Endorsement not required.... 

[RocketAviator]

OK no more 201er posts.... I cant take it anymore!!! My wife is asking me what SO FUNNY...... I was laughing so hard I could not answer her!!!
