Learning How To Say ‘No’

The pilot breed has in it the primal instinct to attempt every assigned task, no matter the odds of success. Like many of our innate urges, this proclivity must be kept in check because in an airplane, acting on it can be deadly. (aviationweek.com) المزيد...

Thank you JF! A good article find. All pilots and some that fly in the back should get something from this read.

HOORAY!!!!! Finally an article about important "Pilot Stuff" instead of the continuing drivel that has beset this board recently! I am hopeful it will continue.

Um you must mean the constant airbust comments about every time they change ashtrays in them.

My pilot dad lost more than a few jobs for saying no! I certainly respected him for that.

I think that a lot of their problems of my fellow pilots is the aquired belivef that they are something special The term "pilot" means so much to them many will fly puddle jumpers from and to anywhere for a very low wadge knowing that they will never move up to fly the big boys. And speaking of those big boys ,Sure they have aquired a skill to take off and land a large aircraft ( along with 500,000 others) but lets face it they have the same job as a bus driver taking people from one place to another.They just have a differant route.This primal instinct you write of many times comes from the belivef that they are blessed with such super skills and knowledge they will try to please those higer ups. Remember those words the captain ignored on approach at DFW in 1985 "Delta Go Around"

The captain issued the go around command at 1805:44, then the wheels hit the ground at 1805:52. The tower instructed a go around at 1805:56 (Tower couldn't see the first bounce due to the rain).

NTSB Report:

The wheels hit the highway 635 smashing two cars before bouncing up vering with a yaw to the left and the port wing struck a water tank turning the plane's cockpit into the next water tank.From my view at the AA terminal I could see the aft section in the air and thought it was one of our DC-10s.

My point is: the pilot initiated a go around before the tower instructed him to. Both were too late, but the cause of the accident was not the pilot ignoring tower instructions.

my point is that it was . A Lear jet had reported just before that a wind shear was present there. Remember Delta was the airlines refusing to send their demi god Captains to the FAA (charm school)

No, the pilot of the Learjet "testified that he had nothing to report, 'the only thing that we encountered was the heavy rain.'" Again, from the report.
I refuse to argue the facts of the report versus your opinions any longer.
