Student pilots taking up passengers.

I'd feel like an •, but would probably say no as well. I took a friend up once along with my instructor and having the extra person in the back really messed up the way the airplane felt.

So you're never going to take anyone up sitting in the back because it feels weird?

My 3rd flight instructor was a very nerdy girly-man. After about a week of flying with him, he asked if he could bring his girlfriend along for a night flight. I was surprised he actually had a girlfriend. I didn't mind but it still seemed a little funny that he was bringing people along on my time....

Unless I'm allowed to issue holding instructions -no freakin way!

Could you do it with only two fingers?

Don't you think that would have been a good thing? Getting comfortable in a variety of aircraft loadings?

Considering it was pre-solo and I was just trying to land the thing without killing anyone, it probably didn't do much good.

I took a bunch of people up with an instructor. After steep turns and stalls, short field landings, etc they are quite happy to go on a normal flight!

So remind me again how many bars are required to fly a 172?

About as many as is required to tell the difference between a Cessna and a Piper, as she is in a Piper!:rotfl:
