To Mister Moose. the aeroplane was very cramped and the natural and comfortable place for Jack's right foot was infact on the trainees left rudder pedal. I think the worst thing Jack did was not admit error.
It could have happened to anyone including Gary. A partition is now fitted between the pedals of both pilots so as this would not happen again. This was a national requirement on 2 seater Piper Pawnees.
The Pawnee is a rarity today. Thank goodness. Covered with doped fabric and with a fuel tank sitting immediately behind the engine they cremated many pilots.
