The opposite situation might even be worse. Pilot-in-command says you're go, but you're not keen on the weather. Suddenly the PIC is super pissed that you're not sharing the cost of the ride anymore, and you have a lot of very bad options. Pay for a ride you aren't going to take, get in an airplane in circumstances you feel aren't safe, or piss off this individual who's going to bad mouth you to everyone he knows.
It really seems like this could persuade a lot of people to make bad decisions.
- shapov 12y agoIs there a baseline that could be established to dictate what bad weather is? So that the decision is taken away from both the pilot and the passenger?
- yock 12y agoIf this baseline were so easily quantifiable, then there would be volumes written about it and the community would have settled on one long ago. The apparent risk is different for everyone, and weather is highly unpredictable.
