Pilot: 69bravo requesting permission for a high-speed flyby, gonna try and blow some more of those clothes off... Tower: yeah, 69bravo clear for flyby... And I'm going to give you a number to contact... To share the pictures.
Girl: today, you can do anything, and I really mean anything, you want. Pilot: *picks up cell phone* Bill, meet me at the hanger, let's fly and get a burger.
I was wondering what this had to do with aviation...then realized I hadn't noticed the plane on the initial look.
Tower: “N6969 state intentions..” N6969: “ahh Tower not sure what is runway condition??...69.” Tower: “69...runway grooved but can side step to firm fresh trimmed grass” N6969: “we’ll take that grass strip then” Tower: “ cleared for the option 69..”
The evaluator should incorporate realistic distractions during the flight portion of the practical test to evaluate the pilot’s situational awareness and ability to utilize proper control technique while dividing attention both inside and outside the cockpit.
