C-150 Pilot... You might want to change your airplane type to something like say a 172RG or 182RG, then your sig might be somewhat closer to reality.
Nonetheless, having someone along can be great fun even in a fixed single VFR. Time passes by much more quickly, the extra hands and eyes are always useful (be it reaching for items, doing some of the radio/GPS work or spotting traffics more quickly) and you can quiz each other on all sorts of topics. I'm not even going into the possibility of greatly reducing the time it takes to prepare the flight by splitting the work (especially for longer cross-countries).
As far as music goes, I've brought my mp3 player along on a few flights, set not too loud so to make sure I'd have no trouble listening to the radios. One important thing is to never hesitate to press the pause button (keep it easily accessible). I'd listen to some rock and techno music, depending on my mood.
Goodbye,
Louis

Fair enough. I agree he's a tool nearly all of the time.flyinhigh wrote:when you act like a tool, than you'll get treated like a tool.
I got no respect for the lower time guys that will tell the higher timed guys that there job is easy, they could do it right now.
My only point was that everyone know's he's a tool so we don't need to constantly point it out, just ignore him.
To C150Pilot: Thinking and acting like you know more than you do is not only a good way to make enemies (and ask anyone, aviation is way too small and industry to want to do this) it's a good way to get yourself killed in an aircraft. There are a lot of smart experienced people on this forum you could learn a lot from, maybe listen to them instead of making remarks (even jokingly) about their jobs. Just so you know where I'm coming from, I only fly recreationally now but I have about 300 hrs with Commercial Multi IFR licences.
