... are you saying in absolutly no circumstance is it ever okay to violate a limitation or regulation? What is it exactly about my post you disagree with? ...

Peace, brother .. keep in mind

(a) this Forum has an educational thrust for the newer PPRuNe folk so those whose beards are greyer tend to emphasise the conservative

(b) regardless of your personal thoughts, the captain WILL be called on to account for his/her actions in the event of an incident or accident (presuming he/she survives the latter).

A colleague comes to mind whose experience following a fatal (in which he had no part) involved spending a day or two in the box with the wolves doing their best to attach blame to him and the company .. be VERY wary of thinking that the captain is some sort of holy (wo)man who can do his (her) own thing in isolation ...

(c) sure, the captain may do what is considered necessary in an emergency but consider (b) and the fact that the typical pilot has little knowledge of design, testing, and certification .. ie how "hard" is that limit which you are about to propose busting ... ?
