Corsair
Very impressive.
The difference between you and the Blackpool pilot is that you resisted. Of course peer pressure is hard to resist. Thats why we must all, as pilots, be aware of this pressure and teach ourselves to resist it when our little angel tells us to do so.
It keeps coming back to the same issue. Being PIC is more than flying an aeroplane. It also means understanding what PIC means.
I am sure many pilots who have read this thread will have thought hard about this and i hope we all will continue to do so, so that hopefully we can be Corsairs and not Blackpool statistics.
Perhaps we should all also wonder what will happen if, god forbid, something happens to US. Do we want our relatives to involve others in case the AAIB reports it as being our fault? How do we as pilots stand versus the no cure no pay lawyers? Can we legally prevent anything should we so wish in our wills?
I for one would not like anyone else to be sued for my death unless the AAIB found i had no part in my demise.
just trying to break the taboo.......
