I can see the different points quite clearly.....
The practicalities verses the legalities.
Mr Airwon states a list of 9 examples in an attempt to justify why he/she/?? could/should leave the controls of a machine under power.
My view is that a Manhattan Lawyer would tear strips off Mr Won in support of his [??] boss, who would be trying to get back some of his investment money that the pilot rolled into a ball.
The bottom line is that in every case he[??] could [should] have shut down...anything else is a practical or commercial issue that would not [may not] stack up in the cold reality of the legal process.
But I'm not a lawyer, so we will never really know. Protect your own &^%$side in this industry, bacause everyone will try to get even at some stage.
PS. Mr Won, I suggest you insert your experience, quals, etc on your profile so you can enjoy some credibility when you post.
