Default Girls and flying -- an interesting experience with the Kiwi

John Clear writes:

What has been the group's experience with letting non-pilot passengers
fly? In my experience, the women are much better then the guys.

The guys tend to over control trying to keep it straight and level,
and fail miserably. The women tend to use more finesse, and do a
good job of keeping it straight and level, and can usually manage
turns with just some verbal coaching.


My guess is that men tend to favor action, even overreaction, whereas
women tend to favor caution. Since aircraft controls are presumably
quite responsive from the viewpoint of a non-pilot, women would
logically tend to fly better, as they'd be more cautious about moving
the controls and more likely to see what they do before making any
rash movements.
