Some time ago there was a discussion about in flight relief systems or.....
the needing to pee and no where to land. An acquaintance suggested a system
that some of our cross country pilots might be interested in. The system is
designed for people (men) with incontinence so the kits may have more than
you might want or need but they sell individual parts.

Why, Richard, real men (I always liked that from my John Wayne days), don't
need t no medical thingey. Let go and the air will dry your slacks. That or
wear a dark blue pair of pants! HA, Ha! Or tell your friends on the ground
when they ask: "It was quite a thrilling ride today with them thermals and
all".

I did 4 hour flights when going cross country in my 150, and my bladder is not that big  I just carried a plastic water bottle, and used that to pee in. It sure beats making a special landing, and running for the FBO because I could not hold it anylonger

Mike B:
My kind of flying rarely requires long legs. The more I land the more
folks I get to meet. To me, this is what this kind of flying is all
about. My very most max leg is 3.5. Normally, an hour or two is
about right.
Depending on what geographic location, one might have to stretch out
those legs because of lack of airports and fuel.
I don't have enough room in my airplane to try and relieve myself.
Not bragging.............

For true emergencies, I suggest you go to your local drug store or invalid supply house and purchase the specially shaped plastic bottle with a snap on tight fitting lid. It is the one you get if you have had any hospital time. It is shaped so it can be safely used lying down so can be used flying. It is narrow in shape with an angled upper section. Could be tucked out of sight under the seat or most anywhere. Being 88, I carry one under the seat of my auto and fortunately have never had to use it. I've used them many times in hospital stays.

Steven G/Gang:
Had forgotten about that one.
Seems most every time I get in a hurry, drop in on a strip, stop at
the end away from the FBO, get unzipped and well into the operation,
an unannounced audience usually appears out of no where.
1989, Concord, NH, flying the Firestar through all the New England
States. Had to land, semi-emergency. Spotted Concord, an old WWII
airbase with triangle runways. Landed way on the other side of the
airport from the FBO and air passenger terminal. In those days long
ago, I flew with a Jim Handbury hand deployed parachute that I wore
with normal harness and a bridal attached to the airframe of the FS.
Got the airplane shut down, bridal unhooked, out of the aircraft and
tending to business still wearing the parachute, which made the
operation that much more difficult. About half to completion, I hear
someone calling cadence in the distance. The sound is coming this
way. Around the bushes comes the Concord Running Club, about 30 guys
and gals. I was caught red handed. All I could do was turn my back
to them and pretend they weren't there, with a sheepish grin.
Fast forward September 2003, on a flight with my friends John W, Gary
H, Steven G, John B, to the Kolb Flyin, via Kittyhawk, NC. We were
flying north up the Outter Banks when I got the urge to get rid of all
that coffee I drank for breakfast. We had camped out at Wallace, NC,
the night before, and were now winging our way up Ocracoke Island. I
spied the airstrip and dropped in at the south end. The hurricane had
come through the Outter Banks the week prior. There were large sand
dunes washed up along the sides and at the end of the paved strip.
Hoped out of the MKIII and got half way through my job when hear an
airplane engine heading my way. Sure enough, right on time was a
Cessna full of guys and gals. What do you do? Grin, turn around, and
finish up business.
Might need me one of those inflight emergency relief systems.
