Things You Will NEVER Hear A Pilot Say...

Post by Doc »

This airplane is too fast.
This tail wind is too strong.
These engines are too powerful.
This beer is too cold.
That chick is too hot.
This cockpit is too roomy.
That runway is too long.
That ceiling is too high.
That steak is too big.

Expecting some good ones here, kids.

Runway is too long at ex military bases. Eleven thousand feet for a 172! I have said it, others have said too.

Never say never.

Well, I thought I had not heard it all... Two days ago, flying out of Paris, on Air France, after an hour long departure delay, I hear a pilot say:

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to apologize for the delay, it was entirely my fault. I thought I was flying a later flight today, so I arrived late to the airport."

I was not too happy about the delay, but you gotta like the no nonsense honesty!

Sorry, the weather is below my personal minimums.
Gold bars are cool and command respect from students.
Damn you interrupted me! Now I have to start the checklist all over again!
I'm glad I'm not fighter pilot, I can tell my amazing flying stories using only one hand.

Pretty sure I've heard a pilot say (or maybe it was print) this somewhere recently. :|

I like to take off heavier than this.
The density altitude is too low.
I wish we had less fuel.
The wx is too good at the destination.
I love a short icy runway with a howling crosswind.
I haven't been married enough times.
Could you arrange for more tax to be taken off my pay?

Actually, I've always done that; so that at the end of the tax year, they owe me instead of the other way around.

... just put those used earplugs in the seat back pouch. I'll pick them out later. Here you go, here's a barf bag to spit tobacco juice into as well. Just leave it on the floor or in the seat back with your earplugs. There you go. I hope you enjoy the flight.

I think I'll need another 10 hours of instruction to get checked out on this airplane type.

Nah, I won't buy that airplane, it's just too cheap.

Oh boy, a glass cockpit, cool !

I have no remark or any comment on how you fly.

There is absolutely no way you could improve your airplane, it is perfect as it is.
