I don't usually take mine off. Some of my back seat passengers have done so in
flight. It allows them to change sides if the better view is on the other side of the
plane. I occasionally have done so if I were alone and needed to reach something in
the back seat. When Elisabeth is with me, she may do so for the same reason. I just
make sure everyone has them fastened before we land.

Hi George!

I read somewhere, maybe Flight Training Mag., about a guy flying a
Pantheon and his seat belt had some slack. He was knocked out cold
when his head hit the ceiling, the plain hit turbulence. He woke up
close to terrain after over an hour of unconciousness. It was one of
those I learned from it articles.

I have been in some bad turbulence. I always keep my belt tight. But
then again, I only can afford to rent for two to three hours at the
most. I don't have my own plane. Two to three hours of tight seat
belt is tolerable. For those that are lucky enough to have their own
planes, I guess you fly so much that the seat belt would become a
bother.
