I know a lot of people don't have rear controls, to give the passenger more room. So lets say I'm flying along with my wife and for whatever reason, I drop dead. She wouldn't even have a chance.
I say this because this could have happened to me. I'm sure some of you may have read my post in the main forum talking about how I lost my medical due to a bleed in my brain. I'm healthy, work out, eat right, and just 2 weeks prior to the incident, I had an Air Force flight physical. All was well. This came out of no where.
It got me thinking. Lets say this bleed I had decided to wait another few years. We could have been flying along in our RV4, and then my brain bleeds. Lights out for me. If she has controls, there is a good possibility that she'd be able to get the plane on the ground and walk away from it.
Fortunately for me, I just sounded like that reporter covering the Grammies. I'm lucky.
I just wanted to see what some of your thoughts on this are.
