Low & Slow,
Taken from Air Marshal Day's very own slides used during the Lords Select Committee:
Negligence
- The duty to take care varies according to the operation being performed and a duty to take a very high degree of care is rightly imposed upon a person flying an aircraft. In such circumstances what might be trivial in other fields may, when associated with aircraft operations, amount to negligence which justifies severe criticism.
- The doing of something which, in the circumstances, a reasonable person would not do or would do differently.
- ...Neglect means a breach of duty to take care or, in other words, carelessness in a matter where care is demanded.
Degrees of Negligence
- Minor Degree
- Gross Degree
- Recklessness
- Disobedience
