Semi-Enclosed Lavatory
T he standards in the industry for a Semi-Enclosed Lav , which may also be referred to as a Partially Enclosed Lav , would not include any amenities. In most cases this would strictly be a seat within the plane that has a lift-able seat cushion exposing an emergency / chemical toilet, aka “The Potty”.
Typically located between the cockpit and passenger cabin, these chemical toilets allow for emergency use, but offer much less privacy for passengers, and do not allow you to flush. There are no doors surrounding the seat, although it may include a removable privacy curtain.
A Very Light Jet such as a Cessna Citation Mustang, Phenom 100, and Cessna Citation Jet, along with some Turbo Props like the King Air 90, are some of the most cost-effective aircraft on the charter market.
These aircraft types feature “Potties” instead of fully equipped bathrooms, and many clients don’t mind exchanging the privacy of a fully enclosed lav for a more cost effective option .

So the “private” jet offers the least privacy where it counts.

Nope. Not going to poop in a tight enclosed space where people can watch me ‘go to stool’, not to mention the odours of such a small aircraft*.
Apparently U.S. public toilets aren’t fully covered either with gaps in the doors.
* though that could be sorted with some VIPoo.

A very light jet can only fly for 3 or 4 hours. Hold it, ya animals.

It’s not the flight time it’s the time it takes to load, taxi, and unload that takes all the time.

At least you don't have to clean it.

Most of the stalls in the restrooms at work have such gaps. I hate it.
There are only a couple of stalls I will use , and when using either one I take my hoodie off and hang it on the coat hook, covering the gaps.

In the stall at our Portland office people have taken to taping TP over the crack in the stall the gap is so wide.

I’ve been traveling in Euroland for the last 36 hours, and am appreciating the way they enclose stalls. However, Italians like to have boisterous conversations with each other while they shit/piss. Now I know why my great grandfather left.

I came here to post this. I’m glad someone beat to it. That is the only FP post that’s made me laugh harder than Torch’s post about his experience trying to poop like an Apollo astronaut .

Yep, gaps like that are common enough in the stalls. The people installing them don’t care and “management” might even prefer that people feel like they might be being watched.

Try the German public toilets and try lifting the toilet seat to pee. Some will play music to discourage you from standing up to pee as they feel it’s healthier for your body to sit down to pee.
In a British toilet, you don’t talk. Mind you, on a subway/metro you don’t talk, sat in a waiting room you don’t talk, etc...

Are you by chance under 35?

There is no reason for the stalls to have gaps, whether the door opens inwards o r outwards. It’s insane.
![]() 11/21/2019 at 20:22 |

But there’s no reason for the gap to even be there.
How shoddy is the craftsmanship that there are large gaps everywhere!?

But for a country that raves about privacy, etc... then at the point that your most vulnerable in a semi-public space. Your pants are around your ankles, your trying to ‘put a brick in the wall’, etc... and someone could be looking at you.

Unfortunately the people using the restrooms have very little say in how they’re built.

That’s were we complain and complain, tell a union, post pictures all over the internet and occasionally resort to willful destruction or tampering.

So the restroom I was in at the archaeological museum in Naples a couple years ago didn’t even have seats on the toilets. Was glad I just had to pee.

I am pretty sure the gap is a result of our declaring war on poor people. The reasons I have been told tend to be security or safety based... "so if somebody has a medical issue we can see and know" " so nobody can hide in the bathroom after close". The truth is that they make stall locks with keys.

Ha ha no shit. I can go 2-2.5 hrs max. Otherwise I’ll have dehydrate myself.

Just down half a bottle of these babies before boarding, and you should be fine.

I am not. But I do have a very rigorous diet.
