Okay everyone, I know some of you like joking around about this one subject(which is okay) by saying stuff like, "I have a weakness for watching young chicks wrestle in jello" or something to that effect,but id like to see how many of you can actually come up with 1-2 of your weaknesses when it comes down to flying an aircraft,whether its fixed-wing, rotary-wing,single-engine,multi-engine,piston,turbine, or whatever.Id like to hear Private Pilots through ATP Pilots responses,1st flying related, then whatever you want the rest of the flying community to know.
This is a daring question, and I know a lot of people are afraid to even think about it, but thats why im starting this thread. If you can name at least 1 of your weaknesses involved in flying, then more power to ya if you want to talk about how watching cheerleaders makes you wanna do strange things to yourself or whatever.
One of my weaknesses involved in flying would have to be Partial Panel Flying. Its sometimes harder for me to maintain an exact heading or altitude while flying partial panel or its a little harder to shoot an ILS down to mins partial panel. Another weakness of mine is hot chicks in mini-skirts with nice legs!!! Honesty and a good sense of humor will be appreciated here, but lets just not forget about flying, this is an aviation web site by the way. Thanks everyone!
 
D4mn, now I am going to need to go get some Krispy Kream doughnuts for breakfast in the near future...

Monkeys suck hardcore. They smell like sh1t, they are ugly, and they make a very annoying screeching noise. I am fairly happy they get used in lots of animal experiments.

For me...
Power Management (in the Pattern esp.)
and.....
Hesitation in Practice Emergency Situations
 
1.) Pre-departure passenger briefings (the required kind- not the "sit down, shut up, and hang on" variety). Is there any graceful way to do those? :eek:


2.) Oh, and I had a weakness for getting drunk and meeting women. Bad combination...that weakness went away after I wound up with a couple of freaks, a nut case and a stalker. Now I make sure a semi-sober buddy screens them for me. :D

My weakness is:

I need constant blubbering adoration:

So why don't one of you ars*holes bump my thread.

(If you can find it ... in the archives)
 
Forgot to put a weakness: I flare high on landing

Gladly...I've been patiently waiting for more stories. :)
 
I have a tendency to let my students make too many mistakes before I begin correcting them. One of them will probably kill me soon. If not, ATC will mount a stinger missle launcher to the top of the tower to blow us out of the sky next time I start letting a student talk on the radios.
 
trimming the plane well...

...and...

...Ailerongirl...:D
 
Weaknesses

1- I like intentionally heading for the flashing red thingies on that radar-range scope (or whatever it's called) on the panel.

2- I always, without fail, follow the orders of the Freemasons that are beamed into my head via my fillings.

3- I can't count to two.
 
Short term memory. I forget stuff like the crossfeed on Lears, and the iggies on the Maddog. In order to help my remember-er, I resort to tactics like hanging my ID from the heading knob when I've got the ignition on, or clipping my tie to the yoke chart clip.

Smooth manipulation of the Maddogs DFGS would be the second. I can make it do what I want, just not always as smooth as I would like.


Lately, my biggest weakness is the inability to walk past the computer without checking here to see what's new.:D

My first weakness is everytime I fly, I get lost and run out of gas and crash. my second weakness is
