Safety by the Numbers - FAA 16mm Training Film (1969) 

Yep, When I take my headphones off to put my hood on for IMC training. It is so loud, it hearts my ears for that 20 seconds.

FAA had an impressive amount of cooperation from manufacturers for these.

Kids - Above is what we call "inflation" ;-)

1969: "There's a quarter of a million dollars of lumber on that barge!" 2021: "There's four million dollars of weed on that barge!"

"We paid for the whole width of the runway, we use the whole width of the runway!"

ha ha ha!

The FAA films used a lot of character actors from that period. There are a lot of familiar faces from 1960s television shows. Unfortunately these types of films included no ending credits. I kept hoping Virginia Gregg would show up in one of these films. Didn't happen.

@@2degreewca Undoubtedly, she was tied up in one of the 57 different characters she did on Dragnet.

Probably because a female pilot didn't even cross the producers minds.

Every man wore shirt and tie until scruffy 90's came along.

My old instructor said pilots wear ties, if it's down your're right way up, left or right yaw, up, you are upside down!

The pilot, played by the actor Richard Simmons, also played in a movie about the Royal Mounted Police. I never understood why he wasn’t in more movies. He was extremely handsome.

It is Point Reyes. I didn't even notice. I love Carpenter movies.

Wow, never heard that one before😢

fishin n flyin for me the Twinkie please

I don't know, but it certainly has a lot of xylophone John Holmes film music going.

Yep, legal but he can't put that time in a logbook. My private pilot certificated high school buddy let me "fly" left seat in his dad's Tri-Pacer. I got to where I could land the thing, sort of. But it didn't count when it came to meeting flight time requirements for any sort of certificate. But it was great fun and I luckily didn't have to unlearn anything useless or harmful when I started actual flight training.

@@2degreewca Thanks for the reply. A friend let me fly a Bell Jet ranger and a R44 helicopter. Even thought I did nearly 4 hours total , I never logged the time. Boasting time only :)

Or graduated from active CFI to airplane salesman.

John Mikhail How do you know the guy wasn’t an instructor?

Why would the FAA show illegal practices such as a single engine cert. pilot sit as PIC in a multi engine without an instructor? how do you figure he was PIC?

There are no rules that say which seat the PIC has to sit in

Exactly The FAA is not specific on this.

Lol wtf
