Any suggestions on the best technique for joining in a Cessna 172?
 
If you ever make it don,t tell anyone. No one is going to believe you. :rofl:


Land at a quiet non towered airport and use the crew car. ;)

In any event, y'all be careful -- this has resulted in a fatal accident before.

Interesting. Somebody must have knocked the AP off. So who was in the right seat? The pitcher or the receiver? Just trying to visualize how to go about doing this. I don't want to come across as an amateur if the moment presents itself.

EXAMINATION OF THE INDIVIDUALS' CLOTHING REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF RIPPING OR DISTRESS TO THE ZIPPERS AND BELTS.

So obviously not a "heat of the moment" situation...

THE PILOT IN COMMAND'S IMPROPER INFLIGHT DECISION TO DIVERT HER ATTENTION TO OTHER ACTIVITIES NOT RELATED TO THE CONDUCT OF THE FLIGHT.

Uh....unless the purpose of the flight was for MHC purposes....

Why don't you come across as a wise and mature pilot by just saying "no"? I would point out that besides the obvious safety issues, there are also regulatory problems. Last time the FAA was able to prove someone did this, it was an emergency revocation.

Yeah, but that was in a helicopter! :)

This might be an exercise you'd like to perfect in your simulator first. The Kama Sutra comes to mind as an inspiration for contortional conjugation.

Wow....in a helicopter?? That's pretty crazy. But three enforcement actions in ten years? How'd this guy keep flying?

I want to be listening when you tell an FAA Inspector that while you know it's unsafe in a helo 'cause they're hard to fly, you thought it was OK in an airplane. :rofl:

...and last. Let it end there, folks.

Im curious how the expert witness can opine on the dangerousness of fellatio in close proximity of the controls if he has not in fact experienced (or performed) fellatio in close proximity of the controls of a helicopter.

Probably the same way he can opine that it's dangerous to pilot a helicopter while drunk even if he himself has not done so.

The ALJ found his statements credible, and the NTSB found no reason to disturb that finding. Legally, that's all that matters.

No doubt the ALJ's thinking in finding the Inspector's statements credible was along those lines. Probably similar to Mr. Justice Potter Stewart's famous statement "I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that."
JACOBELLIS v. OHIO, 378 U.S. 184 (1964)
To my knowledge, nobody ever asked Mr. Justice Stewart how many pornographic movies he actually had seen to justify that legal finding.

I didn't ask to join the zero mile club!

I assume I need to be at least 5000 ft AGL to qualify? Also, does fellatio count? An ex-President, no less, claimed it does not. I also don't think it qualifies.

This is a serious request. All my non pilot friends at some stage crack some joke about it. My plan is to rent a 172 with AP, file IFR somewhere, wait until it is fairly quiet then bring out the champagne and candles (fake candles of course), and get busy. My current plan is to put my seat way back then ask my companion to climb on top of me. The plan would be to monitor ATC but pretty much ignore them unless something bad happens (like VFR traffic at my altitude or something like that), then when I get back on do the fake "Center, how do you hear?" and claim my COM1 was out or something.

This should be relatively safe. Unless someone else has a better technique?

Aside from the fact that the altimeter can't tell the difference between the ramp at Denver and 5800 over New Jersey, I can't help but think the OP is a troll and any further comments on this thread are just feeding his gay erotic fantasy.

+1 Why file IFR? Seems a real pilot would know that would be the stupidest thing to do.

Why stupid? I don't think so at all. There are several reasons why it is better to be flying IFR. First of all, my eyes will most definitely not be outside the plane. I will be glancing at the instruments occasionally and the AP will be flying the plane without reference to outside cues, for example keeping cloud clearance. Second of all, I will be at an IFR altitude and not have to worry about VFR traffic flying without a transponder, etc. Thirdly, ATC will be doing their best to keep me separated from other traffic.

Yes, I know it is stupid, like having sex on your boss's desk. You don't want to be caught, but the thrill of doing something different is the goal here.

Dude, I'm not gay so, no I don't want to fly with you. Thanks for the offer, but no thanks.

And... ask any non-pilot. Mile high club is AGL not MSL.

Are you trying to find out how many of the FAA's dangerous attitudes you can demonstrate in a single flight?

I need to go find my troll spray.

They call and you don't answer, problem. You deviate altitude or heading, problem. They vector you and you don't respond, problem. They know exactly who you are by transponder code, problem. We live in a state of heightened sensitivity to aircraft deviations. I'm sure if you are a pilot you've noticed they now want a reason for a change in destination, etc. If you'r worried about traffic get FF, they won't be surprised when you don't answer the traffic calls.

You're right. FF would be better. As for not answering traffic calls, it is not unusual in the area where I fly to lose communication periodically. And it is so quiet that you can go 20 minutes without hearing anything. I'm not talking about doing this in congested airspace or anything like that.
 
Do you have a partner who is willing to do this with you? Because the last time I checked, even while on auto-pilot, most of my passengers are terrified if I take my eyes off the sky/instruments for 10 seconds to reach the back seat or participate in a passenger-initiated iPhone selfie. Finding a non-pilot who has enough confidence in the auto-pilot to join the mile high club sounds highly unlikely.
 
And broadcasting your intentions to do something illegal in a public forum constitutes what???
