Flying with the wife.
Me: Skyhawk ##1, four miles south of the field, entering left downwind runway 22.
Other Pilot: N##2 crossing mid-field. I dont see you, do you have your lights on?
ME: We are all lit.
Wife: (over the intercom) That didn’t sound right.
Me: Just to clarify, the plane is lit, not the pilot.
Short Final…
Key Takeaways:
- During a flight, a pilot confirms his aircraft's lights are on by stating, "We are all lit," in response to another pilot's query.
- His wife, listening on the intercom, finds the phrasing ambiguous and comments that it "didn't sound right."
- The pilot quickly clarifies his statement, humorously emphasizing that "the plane is lit, not the pilot," to prevent misunderstanding.
