Cat in the cockpit grounds Toronto-bound airplane

lol...kind of pain if you had a business meeting to attend at a certain time but otherwise I think it's funny!

R U sure it was a four legged cat , and not two cats, 2 legged ones ! ;-) ;-p

LOL, I saw this on the news yesterday. Couldn't help but picture a steaming mad captain standing by while the lady calls her cat for 3 hours.

Being a Mechanic and knowing that Cockpit in and out and upside down for nooks and crannies, I can see this chase for the scared cat for a while. He could easily have gotten himself down inside the Belly Avionics bay and I cannot imagine trying to get him out of there... I take it the cat is not getting many frequent flyer miles :)

Hmm... Just read the full article and it states: “there was no real damage done.” which makes me ask... If there was no real damage done. then what damage was done. I would guess working Maint Control I would see a sign off such as:

"Removed Panels as required, Found and Remove cat from a/c, Inspected a/c for damage IAW AMM 05-50-00. Reinstalled removed panels. A/C ok for service"

For Non Maintenance Personnel IAW - In Accordance With, AMM - Aircraft Maintenance Manual. 05-50-00 is the code for Unscheduled inspections.

I am sure the maintenance personnel enjoyed this one.

So which CATegory of landing would this be, had the cat been undiscovered? Cat II? Cat III?

Cats have a habit of chewing on wires.

Lol - I dont think I'll be warping anyone's fragile little mind here Phil, but for you my friend, I will keep it good and wholesome. Just dont read my other post on the "Lease vs Buy" squawk.

let r rip Chris....I 'm not a prude.....I know it's all in fun anyway...I have been known to made a comment in "fun".
Carry on!

Headline should've been "Loose pussy in the cockpit."
What if he got loose at the movies? Would the headline be "Furball in the box office???"

Maybe they were going to use the Cat and Duck method IFR flying.

Old joke
(P = the problem logged by the pilot.)
(S = the solution and action taken by the engineers.)

Message to maintance engineer we have
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

Better than "snakes on a plane"!

A real "Cat's Meow!"........

Throw a little pussy into the picture and everything gets fouled up.... (since everyone's got jokes)

Keep it clean everyone!
