Yup, multi tasking ain't good. Just bit me in the rear yesterday. Thank goodness it wasn't vehicle related.



Not too long ago, there was a NOVA - or some such thing - looking at a couple of employers who actively seek out older folks for employment. That the older group made generally excellent employees was no real suprise. What was just a bit suprising was how quickly the ability to multi task drops off. The process is well on its way by your 40's. Just about the time you get promoted again, take on real responsibility and are yacking on your $$$ hands free system.



I've got one of those things in the company cage. Hmmmm, just what I need in ATL traffic - a phone call from a non rider corporate low life who really "needs to talk".



I've long resisted getting an intercom so my wife can improve her co-rider input for obvious reasons. Now thanks to ANON, looks like I have a bit more ammo in my battle to keep peace and quiet under my skid lid.

Just flew in my bosses Beech Bonanza the other day. No, wasn't kissing up. We had an office charity raffle and for once I won.



Interesting analogy, but seems a bit apples & oranges to me.



Comprehensive checklists, audio alarm backups, GPS, radars, on and on.



I'd never flown up ft with an IR rated pilot with current gen avionics prior to this little delight. Before I'd have considered pilots and riders to have a lot in common. Er, I'm not so convinced now. While there are plenty of dumb pilots, methinks that the cost of entry, complexity, continuing education requirements, etc., screens out a bit more of the goofballs than learning to ride a bike does.



Your analogy might be accurate for a Visual Flight Rules aircraft. I resisted calling them VFR's.

SO do I! Yikes, I've had said same experience too many times.
