Kinda a laugh topic, but have you, in the middle of a flight, suddenly have to goto the bathroom like really badly?  

Was on my own on a cross country trip today, had 3 legs.  On my last leg, when I was still 50 nm out of my home airport, I had to go REALLY badly.  As soon as I was like 30 miles away, I immediately closed my flight plan, and contacted terminal immediatly saying I was inbound to land.  Almost firewalling my engine for my base leg, I zoomed right behind and above an airbus 320 that was also landing.  Keeping a relatively high approach speed on final, adding full flaps just barely below the white arc, I landed, taxied off the runway white cutting off a british military transport (i think), and sped back at a full 25-30 kts before I got my relief.

Good flight, but one of the most challenging experiences to cope with thats for sure Grin  I guess the lesson of the day is, if you need a full stop at an airfield somewhere in the trip, take it!
 

Cheers,
RB

LMAO! Sorry, no that hasn't happened to me... yet. But now that I've heard (read?) your story, I'm sure it will.

Great, but what if it's not something you can do in a bottle.... a paper sack maybe? then you just fly over a car dealership and aim for a convertible. Tongue

Best thing if it's number 2s is a big sheet of clingfilm, then you can wrap it up and you don't have to smell it.
Of course if you've had a curry and Guiness then you have 2 options, either a dustbin bag or move the PC into the loo with you Wink Grin

Not certain but I think they're talking about real flying.

PS. It's bad enough when you're stuck in a traffic jam on the M25. Roll Eyes

Ha, interesting thought bird.  I've actually never considered it-my next lesson is a four-leg x-country though, so who knows Wink

It was probably one of the few instances where I actually taxied my aircraft from the runway all the way back to the apron and shutdown in 1.5 minutes at a controlled international airport lololol!

You should have declared an emergency and had fire crews meet you on the runway with a port-a-pottie. Grin
