Just exactly how does One teach "Judgement"?

If we consider the latest round of CFIT crashes in the UK, combine them with the ever constant roll call of the same in the US EMS Industry, and juxtapose any number of otherwise avoidable crashes like say the R-44 losing a Tail Rotor to a fuel mat......I would offer the Rotorcraft World does not do a very good job of it in general.

This "Judgement" thing does not stop with CFIT....it applies to each and every one of us as we go about our daily business.

Essentially, is it not the art of knowing when to say "NO!"?

No, the weather is beyond MY mininums!

No, that maintenance practice is insufficient to guarantee safety!

No, the Regulation does not prevent stupid conduct!

No, I shall not put myself and others at Risk just because the Rules, Regulations, and Boss tell me I can....and will!

Just what is this thing called "Judgement" anyway?

It seems a very nebulous term that has many variations around the World.
