> Pilots aren’t allowed small f*ups when flying planes. I don't blame you if you don't take a strangers word on this, but I would strongly encourage you to look at this YouTube channel VASAviation (https://www.youtube.com/user/victor981994 https://www.youtube.com/user/victor981994) or watch the excellent movie, "Charlie Victor Romeo", which cover in extreme detail the routine, regular, and on-going mistakes that are made in aviation. Mistakes happen in aviation ALL THE TIME; they just don't cause death or crashes in every event. I can't speak for Engineers and Doctors, but for: pilots, ground crews, flight mechanics, and ATC I have a tiny soapbox. Each of these jobs routinely on a daily basis have mistakes that are made. Sometimes the errors are minor. Other times they are major, and aren't discovered for months or years after the fact, which either led to the loss of millions of dollars worth of equipment, or worse. Sure, CEOs and such are usually held responsible for those mistakes, but the aviation community focuses more on the ideals of, "Every rule, written in blood" mentality. Things are permitted, until they aren't. This is precisely because it caused a disaster. Things are safe(r) now because they were significantly less safe just a few years ago. The aviation community is focused on preventative actions as a result of the ongoing looming threat of failures. There is no way to avoid them entirely. There is an understanding that when you are in the air, there is NEVER certainty. You are NEVER safe. You should constantly be concerned about what can (and will) eventually go wrong. It's only a matter of how bad the failure will be. TLDR Aviation isn't safe because they "don't allow mistakes" but because they have a rigid and foundational system around how to deal with failure.
