Legal things that aren't safe at all

[flyifrvfr]

Putting your face in a fan and saying " Luke I am your Father ". Certainly legal, just not safe.

Oh just thought of another one that will certainly top all the previous ideas!! Take a 172 right through a level 5 supercell squall line!! After all there is no FAR against flying a plane straight through a boomer but it would be illegal to fly that same 172 into even light ice!

Quite illegal according to ;

The reg that covers all that wasn't covered. 91.13!

Flowbacks.

Someone isn't too happy with the contract that he agreed to.

Having the right side attitude indicator deffered on your Part 135 Chieftain and the MEL requires you to remain day VFR only. So now you fly in the mountainous west scud running below clouds and remaining legally VFR. Makes a lot more sense to be up in the clouds IFR way high above the mountain tops but you can't because your MEL doesn't allow it.

 

[PAPA FOX!]

Joining the Mile High Club without an autopilot as PIC in actual IFR!!! Any of you done that?!!!

This one is also covered by 91.9(a). If you fly in that cell, you'll definitely exceed the aircraft limitations.

Well, I wasn't here to agree to that scheme, nor did those who were here have a chance to agree or disagree to it.

The topic of the thread is things that are legal, but not safe. Taking a 3000TT new-hire and rushing him into the left seat of a jet, and making him fly with the very person whose job he took- is not safe.

when i have an aircraft doing a touch and go and a plane behind him fullstop. I don't have 3000ft between the 2. We are looking at 2800ft but now I have to send the aircraft behind around, he's already moving a decent speed I.E. usually a Cirrus that can't slow down and now instead of closing the gap and not sending #2 around we are now having a quicker plane over take a plane just departing but that is what is legal. Kind of stupid but I have to do It or I could loose my job.

Yeah, I guess I can see your point.

Being able to hop into a turboprop with no training required. IE caravan.

 

[pwendell]

Flying an experimental Rotorcraft with only Airplane category rating(s) and no training.

 

[HAL]

Low time pilot, unfamiliar rough terrain, uncontrolled airpace, VFR minimums (1 mile, clear of clouds) = crumpled aluminum. Legal, but very unsafe.

In essence, you did agree to it when you accepted the job under the current agreement. The job was not forced on you.

BTW, not all flowbacks are 3000 wonder-pilots. Some of them have been around quite a while, some even with 121 PIC time!

Never done it before but you could take off 0-0 under IFR in Part 91

Not fun.
