Do These Bug You?

ANN Reader Richard I. Ward Lists Some Pet Peeves for Our Readers' Soapbox

Dick told us, "I wrote this for my last Twin Bonanza Association Newsletter:"

(Partial List of) Things That Bug Me

1. When someone starts his engine(s) while the tail faces my hangar.

2. Watching others pull their aircraft out of the hangar and leave the tow bar attached to the nose strut, sometimes for hours on end. (Can the tow bar on a Rangemaster Navion be retracted along with the wheels, the landing gear lowered, and the airplane taxied back to the hangar with the tow bar still in position -- and not harm the airframe? Yes it can! At least it did at Three Rivers, Michigan.)

3. Line guys who rest the handle of the gas pump dispenser on the wing. (I gas my own aircraft).

4. People who push airplanes around, exerting force on the airplane in all the wrong places (such as on the propeller blades, antennae, or your polished aluminum spinner).

7. Persons who clean the windshield and windows with paper towels and an unapproved cleaner. (I clean my own Plexiglas.)

By the way, I've got a question: Do instructors even teach any of the common sense items anymore?

[Thanks, Dick! By the way, 'common sense' is quite rare. That's why they call it 'common' sense. (?) --ed]
