Dumbest thing you ever did in flight. - VF1_Maverick114 - 13-02-2006 Well..I was having a good flight and satisfied passengers with their movies and hot foods and drinks when about halfway through the flight i was trying to get my GPS to show up but i accidentally hit the buttons where the emergency door open and I had to land, But I went into a sink rate somehow and crashed and everybody died. Funny aint it? It was a long flight too. California to Georgia. -_- LOL Re: Dumbest thing you ever did in flight. - 717-200 - 13-02-2006 I've done a few dumb things, I've learned from my mistakes but they're still nonetheless funny. "I think I'll start the movie *Ctrl+Shift+M*..."<<That wasn't cool because I had only 2 hours of flight time left of an 8 hour, 4,800nm flight Forgetting to check my speed before deploying flaps and gear Forgetting the parking brake after pushback and getting the engines to 102%n1 to start taxi. Then forgeeting to throttle back after releasing the brake... Making a looooong flight, landing, unloading, new flight, load, taxi take off, out of gas, crash...Forgot to fill up at the gate. Forgot to turn on autobrake and rolled right into a building @ 150kts. Finally, I'll leave you with the message of: If you ever find yourself on climb out with one engine peaking a little higher than the other, Do Not Ignore it!!! Regardless if your flight is 15min or not.... They Call me Capitan... ![]() Re: Dumbest thing you ever did in flight. - Flagstaff Flyer - 13-02-2006 Quote: i was I've done the same thing! I meant to press Shift + 3 but pressed Shift + E. Not a good thing at FL350! Just tonight in a flight in Washington state I had my first emergency; bird strike. I thought I'd remembered what I had read but I guess not...I set the transponder to 7500 not 7700....oops. I received a penalty for not setting 7700 before declaring the emergency and a penaly and $5000 fine for Hijack squak! D'oh! I did land safely though.

I did'nt. In Reality with a Cessna 172: --Came 25 ~ 50 feet from a busy road in an engine failure landing practice with a Vertical speed of maybe -500 fp/min.... ATC never found out though.

I was on final at 15,000 feet and 300 knots. A bit preoccupied... started the descent very much too late. Re: Dumbest thing you ever did in flight. - Anastasios - 13-02-2006 Well, I did many MANY stupid things with flightsim. But one day something happened and I did nothing wrong. I had a short flight from the UK to the Netherlands and I was on approach. Just one minute to go before touchdown, 500 ft, 200ft, 100ft, 50, 40, 30....and suddenly my screen goes black ![]() ![]() MSFS shuts down, the computer returns to the desktop, then my screen goes black again and my computer shuts down ![]() didn't touch one single key. So I looked down to my computer, which is standing on the ground. And I see my dog, looking at me with wet eyes, sitting with her big fat ass against the OFF switch ![]() ![]() Tasos. Re: Dumbest thing you ever did in flight. - SaVas - 13-02-2006 Definitely is opening the doors in flight Re: Dumbest thing you ever did in flight. - jboweruk - 13-02-2006 How about 1st flight in the pss 777. Coming into Egypt in a Thunderstorm that wasn't there, full autoland as I can't really see the runway, and won't till the last moment. Looked like it was dropping a bit steep but thought okay it'll flare in a moment, crash, boooom!!!! Ah Shoot. It forgot to flare in time.

While in flight, about FL300, I engadged the reverse thrusters, put the airbrakes on full, extended flaps fully, put the gear down and opened the door ![]() Re: Dumbest thing you ever did in flight. - Usty - 13-02-2006 -Forgetting to set the cabin seatbelt sign to ON during landing or takeoff is a fault.

Passengers everywhere. Pissin and moaning like little girls. You think they never been in a nose dive before? |
