"Well,

Seems quite common foggy flights...."

and yes, seems quite common as one of the main causes of fatal helicopter crashes.

Everybody should follow the HAI mantra 'land and live'

It's incredible in our industry how many, to paraphrase Red Forman (70's show), super dumb-asses there are willing to risk their own lives and also the lives of those folks paying us to transport them SAFELY.

Every pilot should be willing to lose their jobs to stand their ground when it comes to refusing pressure to do something dangerous. I've done it and will continue to do so, I'll work in McDonalds before some idiot in management or some imbecile customer forces me to an early appointment with the grim reaper!

And also, I agree with previous comments about past experience, I too have been a member of the super dumbass club and its our responsibility to educate and protect the youngsters coming up through the industry.
