Ha! The fixed wing equivalent is to ask for a bucket of prop wash, and while you're out there, coil up the chord line.

Mods, sorry for the awful, awful thread drift.

Flight line... You forgot flight line 1000 ft of it.

Let's make this a complete hi-jack (no pun intended)

Pilot's always write up perceived problems in the maintenance log of the aircraft to which mechanics are required to respond in writing to identify the solution.....

Pilot writeup: Number 3 engine missing.

Mechanic response: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

Well, sure, aircraft flying over your pool can affect your chemistry, if the plane drops a frozen chunk of restroom waste in your pool.
I'm sure the stores will start to sell a remedy for that too. After all, everything is a profit point.

Oh, and if it misses the pool and hits your roof, you'd have a hole in your house. :grrrr:

I've seen this write-up "Radar inop in official mode" official = off.

Discrepancy: Autobrakes inop.
Corrective action: Autobrakes not installed.

Aaaah, blue ice.... Don't eat yellow snow and don't put blue ice in your drink!

Probably getting more stuff in the pool from the lawn mowers, weed wackers, etc. than airplanes, especially the two-stoke guys.

Can't believe I missed this whole thread. There's always planes flying over my pool from the local airport, both military and General Aviation. Can't believe I haven't noticed any problems yet.

Check this story out. Apparently a plane dumped human waste into this pool:

Looks like time for a good SLAM on that pool! And poor dog is gonna need a bath! :lol:

I call shenanigans. Unless it's some really, really old plane, I don't know of any modern passenger jets that can dump waste during flight. Even if a valve malfunctioned and the tank leaked, you wouldn't get chunks of ice because the drain port is too small.

Myth busters did a show on that, and a small drip through both dump valves could cause a clump of ice to build up and when the plane began the landing descent it could break off and be intact when it hit the ground. It would take a failure of both valves and exact conditions for it to happen. Not likely!
