It means, the FAA agrees with the GP. Safety is never convenient, it's always a balancing act. For example, simply pulling out your keys (or your phone) to lock or unlock your front door is more of a hassle than leaving it unlocked. But less of a hassle than getting robbed.
- landemva 5y agoArticle says a Cessna pilot was told to land. That is not just a little hassle in the name of safetyism, it is a diversion from the flight plan for no rational reason. From article, '... captures the controller telling the pilot of a Cessna to land ...'.
- rdiddly 5y agoIt's a bigger hassle to the Cessna pilot than going about his business and flight plan, and a smaller hassle than his getting caught in the middle of a jet scramble or other military response perhaps. Also, it's not necessarily entirely about the pilot's safety/inconvenience tradeoff. The Cessna IS a hassle, for anybody trying to scramble jets or launch an anti-missile interceptor or who-knows-what. The Cessna, on the ground, perhaps with its pilot quietly bitching about his ruined flight plan, is a smaller hassle.
