With friends like this...

Looks to me like the passenger was enjoying it about as much as most people enjoy a good roller coaster.
 
I sure hope those are parachutes they are wearing. It is illegal to to aerobatics with a passenger with out them on both people.
 
Can't see it ("media not found"), but wonder if it's a CFI giving a flight review to someone that's not flown for a decade... :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Yeah, he's not actually completely terrified. I'd imagine he knew what he was in for before he strapped in. But that is some funny video!! :D

Incorrect, if it's not instruction, and she's not paying for the ride, no chute required by law.
 
Nice video
But I think it might be staged. If he was that scared and doing aerobatics, I think he'd be puking his guts out.

Just my $.02
 
Saw that before. Pretty funny seeing him whine like that. Used to pull the negative G on friends that rode with my for their first time in a plane. Laughed hearing them scream.

Um... No, you are incorrect. Instruction is what allows the exception. It's the opposite of what you said.

14 CFR 91.307(c) said:
Unless each occupant of the aircraft is wearing an approved parachute, no pilot of a civil aircraft carrying any person (other than a crewmember) may execute any intentional maneuver that exceeds—

(1) A bank of 60 degrees relative to the horizon; or

(2) A nose-up or nose-down attitude of 30 degrees relative to the horizon.

(d) Paragraph (c) of this section does not apply to—

(1) Flight tests for pilot certification or rating; or

(2) Spins and other flight maneuvers required by the regulations for any certificate or rating when given by—

(i) A certificated flight instructor; or

(ii) An airline transport pilot instructing in accordance with § 61.67 of this chapter.

In the US, that is.

This flight did not take place in the US.
