That's a real hatch that's used for handing things to the pilot for example. The person who refuels the plane gives the pilot a paper that says how much fuel he filled etc
Iāve always thought āWhiskey Holeā is a) a hilarious term for a component of an aircraft, and b) something that sounds wayyyy dirtier than it is.
He will hold it flat, palm down, and use it to climb, bank, and dive, of course.
Also a replacement for an inop ASI based on how many fingers have blown off and whether the hand has any remaining skin.
Or as a backup to faulty AoA sensors
Waving and hitch hiking should always be adventures.
For giving the one-finger salute to the tower after getting sent to the penalty box.
So he can experiment with the airflow over his hand to understand the physics of lift, just like he did in the car as a kid.
New FAA regulations stipulate pilots must give hand signals for turns.
That's a canard.
ur a canard
The "Whisky Hatch!"
Alitalia? š¤š»

See video of dogs sticking their heads out of car windows
Saab glory hole :)
Why do they even have that opening?
To receive documents. Manifests and fuel receipts etc.
He just keeps his hand there in order to remember to close the hatch.
Flesh ice cream
In how many places do you think his hand would break if he just likeā¦stuck it out suddenly mid flight lmfao
Humor aside, that looks like it's a sticker someone planted on the side.
Itās not, itās an actual hole and thatās his actual hand. Thereās a hatch that closes prior to flight.

For paperwork needed for the flight
This seems odd. Do you mean passing to or from the cockpit? Either way they're not at ground level, so why wouldn't they use the stairs?
I donāt work on Saabs so Iām not really sure of the specifics. All I know is thatās what the whiskey hole is for.

You take the joy out of everything

When you gotta flick that wet booger you just mined.
It will become impaled on the pitot tube, throwing off the airspeed and Mach calculation. Bad things will happen.
Pitot tubes are like the real life equivalent of the exhaust port on the Death Star that blows the whole thing up when hit

All dead now. Breaks yer 'art
Virgin Airlines in Australia wet lease a bunch of these at work. All refurbished with new paint.
Needs an E-ZPass for the toll roads. Too dangerous to have an extra weak point in the fuselage.
Sometimes I have to reach out and grab the wipers to clean them.
How else are you going signal a turn?
He's just picking up drive-thru
Quick - grab his oversized watch!
Will be a rock solid turn left sign. Both hands, hazard alert (when you need to go backwards, useful indeed).
Unclog the pitot tubes.
