Instruments vs the pilot ?

@meccano

I said an instrument is MORE reliable than a pilot.

It is a very very confusing question :

Let's say :

- the instrument is 99.99% reliable.
- the pilot is 97% reliable

You have 0.01% chance that the instrument is wrong vs 3% the pilot is wrong.

All is a question of chance. Some pilots are more lucky than the others. It belongs to the pilot to cope with the 3% or the 0.01%.

I'm glad for you.

Sincerely your's.
