You really think ANY of the recent accidents are attributed to
dehydration?

Maybe.

A CFIG crashed their personal single place high performance ship due
to an off field landing over run. Current, plenty of time in type,
etc. The pilot had been pulling on (wait for it) the *release handle*
instead of opening the spoilers. Dehydrated? You bet. This may have
been (I am speculating, but have reason to speculate) a "can't pee in
the glider" scenario in which the pilot was intentionally dehydrating
before flight.

Cookie, I agree with a lot of what you have to say, but I think on
this issue you have some homework to do.

Naturally, it's the PIC's job to keep the PIC healthy.

btw, don't you instruct here?: http://tinyurl.com/3e4hlcs

Can you teach me to fly the '21 like that :-)? (sorry, I'm a natural
born wiseacre, couldn't resist)
