Places You Should Not Use Disinfectant Wipes

Good advice! Recently there was a case where someone used them in the cockpit of a light aircraft. It screwed up the instrument panel so badly it had to be replaced $$$

They shouldn’t be used in the big jets either. I can only speak for Boeing, but they use a film over the avionics to cut down on glare on the glass over the gauges. Even alcohol has an effect on them. I was told that they can also remove paint off of the dials, etc. I’m not sure what they are using.

I carried a germicidal in the winter and if I knew the Captain before me was nursing the flu, virus or even a cold, I would lightly spray some Lysol on a paper towel and very gently wipe off the handles and the yoke and then spray a little in the air, if my F/O didn’t object.

I rent because I ran the numbers and it was at least break even. This way I park the plane and all the fueling and maintenance is done. We live 1/2 mile from Santa Paula Airport, a private 2700 foot strip. I flew 110 missions for Angel Flight West in a Cessna 172.

I flew the 150 in flight school. I have a friend that owns his own plane, the Beechcraft 250. I never flew it, but did fly in it. We would fly out to Chicago with our wives and spend the weekend.

I have heard of Angel Flights. They fly disabled children for needed surgeries, right?

Partly. We fly people of all ages to and from special appointments in distant cities. I am in Southern California, and have flown as far North as Fresno and as far South as San Diego to pick up or drop off patients. Most of the time we use Santa Monica Airport, as it is the closest to UCLA Medical Center.
 
Good article. I would use Kirkland (Costco brand) wipes before Clorox or Lysol wipes because they are larger and sturdier than either two. Also the article recommends Comet disinfecting cleaner. I have Comet Bathroom Cleaner. Container says it kills 99.9% of germs (wonder why none of them kill that remaining .1%) Anyway...that cleaner leaves a sticky film, so I won't be buying it again.

I was preparing to fly from New York to Denver when I received a call from the tower to hold for a “special package.” It was an organ that had to go to a hospital in Denver. I never had anything like that happen before.
 
Common sense article. Vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. Two great cleaners to have in your house. Also, borax and baking soda. I clean with these all the time.

I wonder about the comet and pine sol it advertised using. Wouldn't these leave chemical residue behind also?
 
To me, Pine Sol is immensely strong scented. I recognize it as soon as I walk into a house that has used it.
