How does a 10000 hour pilot make a poor desicion on weather and then, blame the crew.
He didn't !
The very experienced pilot was conducting a follow up debriefing / discussion with the other Unit members and, very professionally I thought, he was saying along the lines of, "Even if the pilot is extremely experienced, the Police observers are also part of the crew, and should always be prepared to question any decision or aspect of the flight that may impact on its safety".
This was a very professional follow up to a flight conducted during deteriorating weather conditions, with a common sense reminder of good CRM practice, including the use of a video to get the CRM message across
A couple of snippets : The Wiltshire aircraft is a combined Police helicopter & Air Ambulance, while South Yorks is purely a Police helicopter.
The MD902 is also limited to 60 knots with the door checked open.
