WELL SAID Atomcraft!
Those that do, run the risk of
up.
Those that don't, quite frankly don't.
All companies expect their pilots to operate to the limit of the weather and the aircraft to provide a commercial operation. And that puts pilots in situation where they have to make judgement calls. This guy will have made thousands of such judgement calls in his career, but its normally the last one was your worst. Look at the Moscow crash, I bet they wish they could have froze the sim and hard another go!
It is human nature to make mistakes, but the really important thing is how we as pilots and your company/training dept implement the best strategies to protect you and provide a robust and defensive flying mentality during training.
I have done single pilot ops in piston twins and wouldn't again given the choice.
I'd miss someone looking over my shoulder when the weather starts to deteriorate, fuel quantities looking worse and passengers barking about not landing where their cars are!
Mistakes? Yep, been there, got the Tee shirt and planning not to revisit the experience.
