Is reading comprehension a requirement for flying licenses nowadays? Seems the dear lady is telling all there were mistakes made....or did I sleep through dinner again?
How many times have we each found ourselves batting a sticky wicket despite our best "professional" decisions about weather, aircraft performance, fuel consumption, traffic delays, and all those hundreds of things that throw a stick in the spokes now and then?
I could provide the script material for a full blown television mini-series myself....without any repeat episodes. Everyone of those knee shakers was self inflicted....and I have never been accused of acting like Superman, John Wayne, and Izzo Yamaguchi all rolled into one.
Maybe no one else here crept over to the side of the deck...caught the upwell and tipped yer nose down to discover the upwell has turned into a down well...and squeaked off down the water wishing you had taken advanced swimming instead of a second piece of cake at lunch. Who here looked at the overhead lights in the carpark at night....saw the beginnings of the fog showing in the light and launched for that five minute scene flight that got stretched to a double entrapment requiring the famous Jaws of Life extrication.....and a one hour delay that let the fog do its thing?
I know I am the only guy that ran short of fuel because of the wind being stronger than expected despite doing two ground speed checks as the flight began...from 225 NM out from the beach.
WRL....one can as professional as Chuck Yeager, Neville Shute, and any British CFS QHI living in a single bodyspace and still get caught short by Ma Nature. It does not take a Professional to get into a pickle...but it takes a Professional to admit it and learn from it. Needless to say....I think it takes a higher level of professionalism to stand up and confess your sins as this dear lady has done....at least someone else that is listening might learn something at no great expense to their nerves or liver.
If you check it....she encountered a problem...recognized it...took corrective action...whereas those that are now statistics for CFIT did not. She may have dropped a clanger but she and her crew survived. That alone speaks well of her.
I would suggest you are dwelling on what went wrong and ignoring the what went right side of the event.
