Made a rookie mistake where my 3 year old son could get his hands on my iPad, literally gone for 2 minutes and find my plane has crashed. Got 5 violations and ghosted, lost my grade 3 to grade 1. Absolutely gutted š¢

This is a common occurrence, and is an unfortunate thing that happens to the best of us, kids, pets, anything that may reach your device, may ruin your flight. Thereās nothing we can do and there is every right to be guttered and annoyed
@Mike_Lima_Tango that is highly inappropriate and is not something we say to someone on the IFC.

Yea, my heart is with you. I allways had 2 violations, my entire IF life and the other day I got 5 at a time and was demoted to grade 2.
It hurts!

We all make mistakes. I wouldnāt necessarily call getting violations a rookie mistake since even the best of best can get them in stressful or distractive situations. I personally may be Grade 5, have thousands of hours, flown on IF for years, yet I also fall of violations, least 5-10 annually because we are always learning something new arenāt we :)
From here in out you know exactly how to further avoid getting Violations. Each mistake is a stepping stone to achieve something bigger and erase one more flaw had. Next time you know to place your device so your beloved 3 year old son doesnāt touch the screen. On flip side while you wait 1 week to get back to Grade 3, you get some time to spend with your family of yours too šŖ
I wish you a great weekend ahead of you and easter holiday too and always remember that we human constantly keep learning new thing based in our actions, even the faulty ones š

Been there done that, learnt my lesson. Now I donāt take off or land when the kids are about itās too distracting and if I am flying a long haul while they are up I make sure the game lock on my S9+ is enabled
Give it a week and youāll back to grade 3 with even more knowledge
Happy Easter :)
I have between 50 and 60 violations and I thought I had a lot lol.

Most of them was overspeed and airport size- and airspace restrictions from back in 2014-15 ;)

Thatās pretty unfortunate. I leaned my lesson when I was flying at about 12,000 feet and my dog disengaged the auto pilot. This happened a very long time ago so plus I didnāt even know what I was doing š

How does a dog do that???
Well I have a pretty big dog so when she jumped up on the couch and sat on my device I regretted it. Lesson: never leave your device on the couch if you have a pet. š oh and she just jumped onto my bed

My ferret has caused me to drop my phone and lose control while taxiing. Somehow that ghost got reversed.
