The other day I was having my breakfast burrito on the enroute leg over the open blue ocean and one of the oil bubbas said something to me about it. I told him I was a professional and to stay in his lame. Can I get a hell yeah? Too many people I referring in our flying.

Did you have meat in that burrito? My last one had spicy sausage and was soooo good.

That's why I always kept the pitot heat on when I was flying a 206. Thatll teach them to keep they're paws off it.

Embarked a welder onto my field ship, claimed he only had 10 lbs of baggage. He's a 300 pounder who approached leaning left about 15° to offset the fifty, sixty pounds of welding rods he carried in his right hand bag... big guy who  needed the front seat of the 206B3, an accurate weight necessary for CG computation.

Also, picked up a 'blind flange' (think the bolt-up rings joining 2 lengths of pipe except it's a solid disc) at the yard that I was told weighed 50 lbs.- customer used a fork lift and 4 critters to load it...  At off load I was told it was more like 600 lbs.

Had a critter embark in the back seat of a 206B3 twist the door latch through the stop to open it and then back through the stop to latch it. The latch still worked, but my mech replaced everything against the possibility that some of the mechanism had damage that wasn't visible until failure.

not be accurate if he sat in the back seat. none of this stupid crap happened either but thanks for the broken door handle story as that was truly fascinating and couldn't wait for the conclusion of it.

not be accurate if he sat in the back seat.

Front seat and back seat have different stations, "arms" for W&B computation.

learn, give it time.  Autopilots are great until they have problems, at that point they are worse than a bad copilot.  Pay attention, all the time.  Autopilot systems can kill you.  9000 hours with them, 12000 without.
