Flight Safety Question
It's a while since I was an RAF Group FSO. Can anyone remind me of the difference between "an error of judgement" and "an error of skill"?

Surely an error of judgement is "I think I can fit my wings between those 2 trees" when in fact you can't, while an error of skill is "I think I can fit my wings between those 2 trees" before you accidentally fly into the ground lining up?
Or to be slightly clearer, an error of judgement's when your perception of the situation's wrong, while an error of skill involves correct perception and poor handling?

Judgement = Decision
Skill = Physical error in handling. Something that you were more than capable of, but you f689d up. Fed by boredom / nonchallence / routine; all of which are everyday facets of military aviation.
.....and that is before you get into the finer points of the many levels of negligence. [Grosse - Criminal - Culpable - Non culpable]

Have a look at the work by Rasmussen on different types of behaviour. He cites skills based, rules based and knowledge based behaviour. This should be of interest to anyone in the operation of complex systems.
Wiki has a very basic explanation of his work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecologi...K.29_framework

An error of skill is Stuart Pearce missing that penalty in 1990
An error of judgement is Stuart Pearce electing to take the penalty in the first place!!

I seem to recall (and it's a long time ago for me too on RAF boards of inquiry) that an 'error of judgement' constituted negligence, and an 'error of skill' did not. Am I right, and is this still the case?
