What was your worst mistake
What is the worst mistake you guys have made while flying...Busting airspace, gear up landing etc... And if it's still pending with the FAA then I definately want to hear it
. I taught an aviation safety class at one time, and found that even people with minimal experience have some good lessons learned. I think this should be interesting due to the vast amount of experience in these forums.

Years ago as a brand new instructor at VNY with my very first student, we did the preflight inspection, started up and taxied approximately 1/4 mile before I figured out we did not receive a taxi clearance! Tower never noticed and I swiftly pulled off the taxiway and hid the airplane between two large business jets parked on the ramp and called for a clearance. I learned from that one.

Whoa! how did that one turn out with the FAA. Or was it just too much paperwork and they let you off.

Eh. I did the same thing. Turns out it's a loophole in the system and a combination of all of these somehow cancel each other out and it's totally legal. So I have done it 3 more times.
