I have another near-peeing myself story. I was doing a 6 hr XC for my CPL requirements, and I was flying from central Illinois to Lacrosse WI (beautiful area, btw). For some reason, I forgot to use the restroom before I tookoff. About 15 minutes into the flight, I realized I needed to pee. Well, about 2 hours into it, I finally couldn't handle it anymore. I had a bottle of applejuice with me, so I decided to chug the juice and refill it with some of my own I couldn't completely relieve myself because the bottle was small, but I felt better. Oh, and this was in moderate turbulence in the clouds. Somehow I didn't spill a drop. About 30 minutes from Lacrosse, I had to pee again. It was so bad that I was about 5 minutes from diverting (which I really didn't want to do because I would have had to redo the flight). I landed the plane, shut the engine down and waddled to the bathroom at the FBO. Needless to say, I wasn't taxiing in at jogging speed . I have never forgotten to use the bathroom before a flight after that day.

I hope all these were in the sim....or maybe Im just lucky. There are a few people making posts I don't think i want to be flying with!!!

what was that, landing in a hurricane into the wind like a helicopter perpendicular to the runway?

Yeah.... I'm one of "those" guys that has bad luck.

MRY to SMO, temps forcasted are WAY wrong, and it's IMC out. Get to 8k, on our way to 9k in a 172 thats got a new engine, solid IMC, at night. OAT say 1c, but I think it's wrong, because there is a layer of rime building. We are over the mountains, and no airports near buy with the route we chose. Pitched for Vy, and no climb. ATC starts asking if we need assistance, because we are no climbing anymore. After about what seemed like 10 hours (only about 30mins actually) we finally stop getting the pounding precip on the airplane, and break out into a beautiful moonlit night. Pucker factor was going way up during this experince, and I was glad to be back on the ground in SMO. Never let dispatch push you to make a flight you have doubts about.

Lost an engine in a twin Cessna during night flying over the Bahamas. Had to land on a small unlit runway. Drifted down from 9000' but couldn't positively identify rwy until on final 1500 AGL, even though I was within 3 mi of the airport the majority of the time. It was DARK..

One of many "adventures" flying in the Caribbean .

1 mile final a few years ago in a C310, set up for landing I went from app to full flaps........and all the sudden the plane started rolling hard right, with a weird yaw at the same time.

I wrestled it down performing at first as if it was an engine failure, but noticed that oddly enough all engine guages are identical, soon as I got the mains on the ground I retracted the flaps and it hit me what happened, flap cable broke on the right side! It was the wierdest feeling ever with the opposite yaw/roll moments, and I always wondered if I was maybe over the numbers and that would've happened, how would I have faired.

Other than that, heater failure in those same C310's. Not challenging you say, what about surface temps of 15-25F, double MDW-BKL-MDW-BKL and then home, 4 nights in a row with no heat!! The problem was finally identified, because my first leg it would always work, it had to due with fuel levels and the amount of pressure it would apply to the heater pump. Lower tanks after that first leg didn't have enough omph to supply the pump, and it'd shut down. Some reason I loved that job, just not that week.

Not much .. i was solo and i had a power loss on Diamond DA40 while doing a climb. Luckily i was fairly near to the airport where i departed from so came back and landed.

And once landed in a 15 knot gusting to 22 knot x wind. It was not completely crosswind .. more like from my 2'o clock position. But landing a single engine in early solo days was a challenge.

And had a few hold the pee incidents too .. luckily they remained incidents and didnt turn into accidents

Every time I have a line check!
