As a pilot in command I exercise the right go or no go on a flight. Maybe the weather shows some upcoming convective activity, the plane looks a little shaky, something doesn't feel right, any inclination I may have, I am supposed to make sure that this flight would be safe, even if that means not going.
Flying is my life, and life is my flight. And now I am up coming with a decision.
Situation:
I've been flying for a while now. I've been ready for my checkride since Thanksgiving break. However, lately the weather has just been tormenting. I have not been able to fly for this whole week, and I amy not fly at all for the rest of it. Trick thing is, I'm supposed to depart from here Friday. All I need is one more flight to sign up. If I can't go on this flight, I wouldn't feel ready for my checkride with reassurance. What is the pilot in command's decision? Does he stay for another week with more costs and ungarunteed weather, or does he go home and come back after three weeks to go for the checkride?
Go or no go....
