...and sadly not by slow flight into a stiff breeze.
Was out messing around Saturday, just enjoying the good weather. Landed at a couple of new airports for me, the last of which was 10G (Holmes County, OH). Taxied over to a parking spot and shut down. Slid the seat back to get out and the bird started rolling backwards! Yes, I was on a bit of a slope, but it was still a surprise.
So I dropped down in front of the seat and jammed back on the brake pedals. Just about the time I was starting to think that I would have to start the plane back up and taxi to a flatter spot the FBO crew ran out and chocked my wheels. Whew!
That was a very odd feeling. Anybody else had a plane roll unexpectedly while solo?
