Celebrate the professional pilot - time for bit of positivity

[flying-spike]

Isit that bad?

OK, I refuse to believe that there are not more "command" decisions being made amongst the pilot that have viewed this thread. Approximately 1500 views and only a handful of posts (most of them mine). Is the silence due to not feeling empowered to make these decision? I hope not. This is what the "Command" in PIC is all about. Not just acting against duress for pax and employers but getting the aircraft do do what you want it to do, not accepting silly clearances etc. If this thread is any indication of the command culture in GA then there is a serious problem that needs to be corrected.

I don't want to be judgmental or "blow my own trumpet"and if necessary I will give examples from my experience where the outcome was positive (there has been not one negative) but I am sure that you will have a lot more that can empower those that are not that confident. Over to you.

Silence is golden...?

I'm not surprised folk are quiet. Ive made a few 'command descisions' in my time but I wouldnt want to elaborate here.

Would just be more "stuff" to get put on yr file to haul out any old time to prove that yr "not a fit and proper" person to hold a licence or whatever.

Bit of a bizarre phrase that, from an "authority" that in itself is "not fit and proper" to be abusing the taxpayers largesse. See Reg Reform and etc.
Mega-millions wasted.
You have to remember that "big brother" is out there watching videos of helicopter aerobatics, trawling the blogs, etc. and having a jolly old time trying to hunt out the 'criminals'.

Any medium with the Cunza listening in could jeopardize your livelihood, bank balance, and yr sanity.

Mums the word.!

Just remember CASA does NOT believe in the co-operative approach to aviation safety...they are rabid believers in the discredited PUNITIVE m.o.
By whatever it takes.
