The thing that concerns me, whenever I see small Microlights/Ultralights and Flexwings equipped with their normally aspirated Rotax 2-Stroke Petrol engines, and no Carburettor heaters fitted, slowly drifting over my back garden, I imagine that they must take very great care to avoid any atmospheric conditions likely to cause Carburettor icing!

Or, you get this guy. Nightmare?

I thought the little guy was strapped in. I'll have to check it out
again.

4 seats, 4 adults... I didn't see the baby inside the plane, but mom's arms is the only place he could have been.

I think it's pretty wierd how this guy filming was so calm about a
forced landing when they had a baby on board. Undecided

I tell ya what.. that baby couldn't have been in a better place then mammas arms.

Unless of course mamma landed on top of the little sqirt. Cry

I like the "co-pilot". All the way down to her sexy boots.

Hey!.. It's been a while.. OK? Cheesy

And the socalled pilot says I'm sorry like he just had a minor fenderbender. Now I'm just a misley ol simpilot (never flew an aircraft for real yet), but I think that the pilot made a serious miscalculation, and he should go back to ground school before he's allowed to fly again,IMHO. But what really irkes me is why did they have to have that infant with them for just a joyride?
I'm not a father, but I do have nieces and nephews, and they stayed home with a babysitter or granma when we went out on the boat or camping. We didn't take a child out with us at least till the age of 5, so in case something happens they would be able to have some idea of what to do in case there adult(s) became incapacitated. What would have happended to the poor kid if those adults got killed and/or seriously injured? Luckly it looks as thoe they were in population but they could have been in real trouble in a remote location. God bless that in general all were OK.

A perfect illustration of why you DON'T CARRY A BABY IN ARMS ON A PLANE. The mother held on OK that time, but luck was on the kid's side, for sure.

This brings up a good Question! How do you stowe an infant on a small aircraft? I know what to do in a car, but in small aircraft not so much.

You put 'em in an infant car seat and strap that into a proper seat, just as you would in a car. I think somebody makes kiddie seats specifically for airplanes, but most of the car ones work in most planes.

Been in a formation where one of the other pilots went hypoxic. Very, very unpleasant position to be in.

...and a follow-on...>>> http://www.flyingmag.com/technique/i-learned-about-flying/i-learned-about-flying...

..always crosses my mind when climbing over the Sierra Nevada Mountains, en route to Lake Tahoe; or over the San Gabriel Mountains en route to Big Bear Lake, in my little Sim Cessna 150!
High altitude dangers = Carburettor freezing, and lack of oxygen both for me and my piston engine!

Paul... Cool

...!

P.S...I'm surprised that the Pilot was able to maintain sufficient engine power to climb at the altitude of 18,300 feet ASL!
