“Captain, would you like the beef or the fish today?” That may be the question put to the pilot of an airline flight but unlikely to be asked of a GA pilot flying a charter, instructional flight or private flight.
The lack of adequate food and drink when flying an aircraft can have a marked reduction on performance due to being tired, irritable and making judgment errors. In the extreme a low blood sugar count could even result in a physical collapse.
