People Are This Stupid

[marty f]

Just today, I took out citation jet for a test flt, with the owner. We could not duplicate the problem, but on final approach we encountered a new problem. Burning smell in the cockpit. We landed and shut down. Inspected everything under the instument panel and avionics in the nose. Couldnt duplicate, and it was closing time. Owner still wanted to leave with acft. Nothing i can do about his decision, as dumb as it is, to take an acft flying that has a burning smell, yet unidentified, is his choice. Yes people are stupid, even smart ones......

You got some balls to get in an aircraft with a known problem..... And the owner is a dumb@$$ for not leaving it to get fixed! It's not like a truck or boat where you can just walk or paddle if it breaks down!

And for the record, I'm one of those Youtube "experts". I'll fix all kinds of issues from YouTube videos, but I'm smart enough to swallow my pride when something is over my head.

Oridginal problem was not a safety of flt issue. GPS and DME issue. But second problem on approach, burning smell IS A BIG ISSUE. I nor non of my guys will get in that thing untill its fixed.
