A
I was still a student pilot at the time, and only my instructor and I were on board. While I was doing a random session of instrument training, I had my blinder goggles down. For those of you wondering, this literally means I cannot see out the windows and can only see down to my instrument panel.
My instructor was giving me instructions, and I was to only rely on the instruments---which also meant that he was my only eyes. So if, for any reason, he saw something he didn’t like, he’s say, “MY PLANE” and take control. Well, we were flying along, and he’s having me perform various tasks with the blinders down, to teach me about trusting instruments. At one point, my blinder goggles slipped down my nose a little, and I caught a quick glance out the side windows. About 40 feet off my wing was a skydiver with parachute open. I immediately took my goggles off and screamed, “skydivers!” and my instructor had no idea. He was my only eyes during my training flight, but he had me fly right into the path of skydivers without knowing it. There was a small grass land nearby that sometimes had skydiving flights in the late summer. Thankfully, he quickly pulled the yoke and flew us out of the immediate area, but it still scared me.
Needless to say, he was extremely embarrassed afterward and kept telling me “ It was an accident and I seriously didn’t see them.” I very well could have killed someone without even knowing it. It gives me a sudden fear every time I think about it.
