flight training horror stories

Weather conditions are often a part of these horror stories. For example, unexpected strong winds or sudden fog that makes visibility extremely low. Trainees may not be fully prepared for such harsh weather during their training flights.

Sure. One horror story is about a trainee who had an engine failure during a solo flight. The plane started to descend rapidly and all the emergency procedures seemed to go wrong at first. Luckily, the trainee managed to restart the engine just in time and land safely. It was a terrifying experience for him.

Once I was on a flight and there was a sudden violent turbulence. It felt like the plane was dropping out of the sky. People were screaming and things were falling from the overhead compartments. It was terrifying and lasted for what seemed like an eternity.

Well, a lot of flight attendants talk about horror stories related to turbulence. There have been times when turbulence hits so suddenly and severely that flight attendants and passengers are thrown around. Also, there are horror stories about lost luggage. Sometimes the luggage handling system messes up and passengers blame the flight attendants even though it's not really their fault.

Well, during a flight training session, a trainee pilot was so focused on looking at the instruments that he didn't notice a flock of geese right in front of him. His instructor quickly took over and avoided the geese. The trainee was so embarrassed but it made for a funny story later.

There was a flight where there was a strange smell coming from the ventilation system. It smelled like something was burning. Passengers were very worried about a possible fire on the plane. The crew tried to reassure them but they couldn't figure out the source of the smell for a long time. Everyone was on edge until the smell finally dissipated.

I once had a flight delay that was a total nightmare. I was supposed to catch a connecting flight. The initial flight got delayed by five hours. By the time I reached the connecting airport, my next flight had already left. I had to wait for another 12 hours for the next available flight. I was so tired and frustrated, and all the plans for the day at my destination were ruined.

Once, a friend of mine was on a flight and the person next to him fell asleep and started snoring really loudly. It was so bad that it sounded like a chainsaw. Everyone around was giving annoyed looks, but the snorer just wouldn't wake up. It made for a really long and 'horrible' flight in a funny way.

One horror story could be about hidden fees. A customer booked a flight through Flight Centre, and only at the airport did they discover there were a whole bunch of extra charges that weren't made clear during the booking process, like some mandatory 'booking service fees' that added a significant amount to the overall cost.

One horror story is when flight attendants encounter extremely unruly passengers. For example, there was a case where a drunk passenger started physically assaulting a flight attendant during the flight. The attendant had to try to restrain the passenger with the help of other crew members while still ensuring the safety of the other passengers. It was a terrifying situation as the attendant was in real danger.
