Accident Prevention
Program-Pilot Prerogatives A pilot prerogative is, effectively, a demonstration of
judgment. It's the ability to make an "instant" decision which
assures the safest possible continuation of the flight. Judgment is a series
of evaluations you make, over a period of minutes, hours, or even days, to
keep you out of danger. Good judgment
guarantees the positive aspects of flying-the freedom to walk to your
aircraft, go flying, and return to earth, safely. Good judgment is an
intangible component of flying which enhances safety. Good judgment can be
the lifesaving edge in the midst of an unforeseen situation. Flying is a safe
mode of transportation, but with good judgment, it can be made safer. Through education and experience, pilots
and pilots-to-be can learn good judgment just as thoroughly as they learn the
mechanics and basics of good flying. In fact, learning good judgment is just
as much an important part of flying as learning to make good takeoffs and
landings. What it takes is the ability to assimilate that all-precious
commodity, called "experience", and then translate it into good
judgment. This learning process starts
with training by a well-qualified, certificated flight instructor (CFI) or at
an approved school that employs CFI's in a programmed curriculum. There's
nothing wrong with learning about flying from a relative or a friend who flies,
but seek your formal training from a certificated Instructor who is trained
to teach flying. Bad habits are hard to break. The CFI is the key to safe flying. Whether you're
taking a refresher course or getting checked out in a new, perhaps more complex,
make and model, or just have a basic question, seek the guidance of a
qualified instructor. The best way to
learn good judgment is through flying. You don't have to fly every day to be
good-to be sharp-but you do have to fly and to practice often. Practice makes
better pilots. What is needed, then, is to gain exposure to flying in small,
digestible chunks, and to effectively evaluate this experience. This is how
judgment is developed. Ironically, we carefully and meticulously preflight
our aircraft, but frequently fail to preflight ourselves-even in a cursory
manner. Too often we forget that man is usually the weakest link in that
crucial "man-machine" interfaces. Flying with others can offer an
extra margin of safety by providing redundancy and "backup" in case
you need it. Learn the correct
mechanics of flying the first time around.
Get checked out in a new aircraft by a competent CFI. Keep your knowledge current through study,
and maintain your flying skills through practice. View your pilot's certificate
as a "license to learn" more.
Take on new experiences, such as weather, one step at a time. Invite a pilot-friend or just a friend to
accompany you on your journey-chances are both of you will learn
something. Learn from the experience
of others-both the good and the bad. There is no need to duplicate
mistakes. Attend safety seminars,
such as this one, as often as you can. What Is a pilot
prerogative?
According to Webster, a prerogative is "an exclusive or special right,
power or privilege belonging to a person, group or class of individuals." CHECK OUT
