cross-country trip. I wanted to fly my aircraft because I had upgraded some avion-


ics and was eager to try them out. My machine is IFR certified and nicely equipped with all kinds of pilot information systems and a fully coupled autopilot. I am IFR trained, current, and proficient. My airport comrade didn’t feel as confident as I did. His aircraft is a nice machine also and well equipped, but he doesn’t have an autopilot.

up with a solution that recommended not flying. When I returned from flying, we discussed his decision. I did rib him a little over it because that’s what we army and marine vets do. But in the end, I made a point to tell him, “Good job on sticking to your decision and what’s right for you.” On that day, my faith in how the aeronautical decision-making pro- cess can work was restored. My airport comrade had made his go/ no-go decision by taking into con- sideration the weather, his machine, his ratings, his ability, and mostly, his confidence in a safe outcome.


He wasn’t afraid to say the conditions weren’t right for him to fly that day. It really is that simple. Fugere tutum!
