fullforward, our views differ.
Mine may be biased, but it is formed on reflection that I flew in near identical circumstances, frighteningly similar; task, crew, objectives, and in some respects terrain. I completed my flight, but it’s ‘success’ did not qualify me as being something other than a Yab, in fact much closer to being one; nor did the safe outcome excuse the quality of judgement or minimise the risks.
Many years of reflection has enabled a view of some of the contributing factors and how humans can be adversely influenced by these. We are all very, very fallible, but the more we that we can identify the risk issues – contributions and behaviours of thought, then perhaps we can make better judgements and continue to fly safely
