Can you share some flight training horror stories?

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.

There was a case where a flight nurse was on a long - haul flight with a critically ill patient. Suddenly, there were issues with the medical equipment on board. They had to improvise and use their basic medical knowledge to keep the patient alive until they could land and get proper equipment. It was a nerve - wracking experience as they weren't sure if their makeshift solutions would work.

Sure. One horror story is about a sudden engine failure during flight. The plane started shaking violently and there was a lot of noise. Passengers were terrified, thinking the worst was about to happen. Fortunately, the pilots managed to make an emergency landing at a nearby airport.

Sure. One horror story could be when the plane experienced severe turbulence for hours non - stop. Passengers were constantly thrown around in their seats, fearing for their lives. Some were getting sick, and the cabin crew could barely move around to help. It felt like the flight would never end and every jolt made you think the plane was about to break apart.

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.

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.

A lady brought a large hat on the plane. When she tried to put it in the overhead compartment, it got stuck and she had to pull really hard. As she did, all the stuff in the compartment started falling out. Papers and small bags were everywhere. She was so flustered but the whole scene was quite comical.

Sure. There was a flight where the plane had a mechanical issue mid - flight. The flight attendants had to keep the passengers calm while the pilots were trying to figure out what was wrong. Smoke started coming into the cabin, and the attendants had to distribute oxygen masks. It was a nightmare as they were worried about a possible crash.

Sure. There was a flight attendant who found a threatening note in the bathroom. It said something really creepy about 'not leaving this plane alive'. She was horrified and immediately informed the captain. They had to search the plane without causing panic among the passengers, which was a very difficult task.

Sure. There was a Goldendoodle that just wouldn't respond to any training methods. No matter how many treats were offered or how much positive reinforcement was used, it continued to have accidents in the house and chew on furniture. It seemed like it was on a mission to make the house a mess, and the owners were at their wits' end trying to train it.
