Bathroom Breaks

I guess I was dorky enough to pay the ten bucks once. Il see if I can't come up with an alternative solution in a bit.
 
Beat me too it Inverted! Those few drops of 'rain' on a blue day get your attention pretty quick.

Reading through the Pilatus POH, I remember reading there was actually an option for a pilot relief tube. When in use atmospheric pressure was used to carry the fluid overboard while in flight....wish we had that option installed haha

And that is what pretty much any XC or racing glider will have installed. Drinking 2-3 liters of water on a 4-6 hour flight...it has to go somewhere! Works great! :)
 
So it's winter time on the UPS ramp and a new pilot to the freight world stops off on the way to work to get himself a cup of coffee. After waiting around for freight he is finally on his way. Enroute he realizes the affects of the coffee. He is single pilot in a B-99 without an autopilot. His only useful tool is the coffee cup, so he finishes his coffee and empties his bladder into the cup. Among other handy tools missing from the Be-99 is a cup holder. After a few tries at holding in his hands or between his legs he realizes this isn't going to work. So he looks around the cockpit for an answer. The Be-99 is unpressurized and has a small pop open window like Pipers. His plan is to dump the cup's contents out the window. The 200kias incoming air had other plans. The contents of the cup was atomized and blown back into his face and throughout the cockpit. His story was when he turned around to look the bulkhead behind him was covered in a fine spray except where hi head blocked it.

yea I learned the hard way in my first glider competiton. I was didn't listen to my mentor and figured I would put the condemn like contraption on of I had to peed. That is hard to do one handed while flying a gaggle with ten other gliders. Always put that bad boy on before the flight
 
At my last job, I had a friend that was all alone in a Citation Mustang. As he tells the story, the "feeling" in his bowels hit at FL410 and, according to him, "it was going to be ugly". He said, "I knew even in an emergency descent I wasn't going to make it to an airport in time".

[The LAV is side-facing and is positioned right behind the cockpit]

With O2 mask on and A/P engaged, he barely got his seat belt off, pants down and settled on to the seat in time. "It was a literal explosion". He said, "The whole time I was saying out loud to myself. [ATC] Please don't call, please don't call, please don't call..."

The image of that makes me laugh everytime......
 
I once felt the urge on a UPS jet during engine start in PHX. Got through pushback and taxied a short ways but still on the cargo ramp. Told the F/O to not call ground and if they called us tell them we were working a "minor problem". Sure our ground guys were wonder what the heck was going on. All I can say is thank goodness I fly freight. Don't know what I'd do in a pax plane these days with a reinforced door between you and the loo and all those people watching.

You'd do what my captain did in an ERJ a few years ago at 3000' 35 miles from the runway after a very long initial approach followed by a go-around followed by 20 more minutes of vectors to get back in line for final at EWR...go right back there and disregard the looks you get! He said he was "going to explode"...guess it wasn't an option to wait. It sure didn't look or smell like it from my seat.
