an instructor of mine in the past who was amused that I couldn't find a
spot that was directly under the aircraft, took the control and we went
interted. The spot was then clearly visible (despite all the accumulated
junk long forgotten on the floor/under the seats that was now
accumulating on the canopy). He did however made it clear that this was
not the standard procedure expected of the students; planing ahead of
time and looking for the spot before getting there was the preferred MO.

Was this an aerobatic aircraft?


It is now! ;o)
Also, I remember a jump pilot a few years ago who liked to do barrel-rolls
in a 182. I recall that he was pretty good since we were sitting on the
floor and
didn't slide around much. This may not be THAT unusual for a 182 but is was
for me.
