Why do you always enter/exit a plane through the left hand door?

[super-niall]

This thread is descending into a farce.

 

[Spot]

It's cause the petrol cap is on the right and the pilot cant see it (to know when they'd finished) from his wing mirrors if the doors where open.

bleedin obvious when it's explained thanks

Terrible puns, like. If they get any worse the effect on the thread could be terminal

No worries mate.

Anything else you need a made up explanation for?

 

[Cockney Mackem]

Aye its starting to drag.

You've got high expectations to live up to with that username mind. If you can't keep up the puns, people will be all over you like a Boac Constrictor

Early world war 1 planes didnt have guns, the pilots carried swords and had to get really close. As the majority of pilots were right handed their sword would be belted on their left hip, so from the left hand side they would enter right foot first so the sword follows. The other way it would be sword first and they'd get all tangled up. (The origin of "chocks away" was actually down to a left handed pilot forgetting to reverse his sword belt and removing a testicle while getting in his plane, he continued on the mission anyway cutting down two enemy pilots and inflicting serious (if primarily psychological) damage on a wave of prussains during an inverted strafing run)

Mounting from the left has since just been tradition.

I have flown many different aircraft and have yet to fly one with Pissflaps, although my First Officer the other day was a lass.

Did she push back?

No, and she didn't want to go down either.
