That's what the CREW mode is for on the intercom.
If only we wore headsets in the car.......... Mary and I have repeatedly tried to press "Pilot Isolate" in the car...to no avail. ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Usually there's silence during the roll. Then about 300' AGL or so, somebody says "COOL!". That happens even when I'm flying alone. - Andrew |

The first time I took my (then) 4 year old up, I let my CFI fly the plane while I sat in back with my daughter. That's a good point. So far, I'm not willing to take our (almost 3 yo) son up w/o my wife aboard. That gives someone to take care of him while I fly. - Andrew |

son up w/o my wife aboard. That gives someone to take care of him while I fly. That's the way we do all first flights with kids. There has to be a "designated parent" on board, just in case. I've only had one kid start to flip out while on his first ride, and I was glad his mom was there to calm him down. By the end of the flight, he was fine, but it sure would have sucked having him sitting behind me whimpering. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

In my case, it's not just first flights. I'm not sure when I'll stop doing this, but so far it is for every flight. And it's not just for the melt downs (though of course for that too), but for little things like "I want water" or "I want pretzels" or "I want to rewire the audio panel". - Andrew P.S. Of course, this also works for me because my wife is my favorite passenger. |

But again, he might just love it. I suppose I could monitor him closely through start, taxi, and run-up, and if he feels ok, then we'd just do a few quick laps around the pattern. |

I would be extremely reluctant to give a 5-year old a ride from the back seat of a 2-place aircraft. On the other hand, I suppose, the aerobatic harness will pretty much immobilize him -- right? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
