Risk Management
Waaay back in my day, (60's), pax knew the risks, and they were willing to take them - because it was a long walk as the alternative. And we didn't have time to discuss risk because we were busy doing the job we were trained for. Nowadays, society seems to want every little clause of a contract spelled out in excruciating detail - because they fundamentally want someone else to blame for any untoward event.
One of my early checkies noted..... it really helps up here to have x-ray vision and big bxlls, but for we ordinary pilots - just be cautious..... and take more fuel ....
Yes, PNG isn't for the faint hearted, neither is it for the foolhardy.
