The Honorable Pilot

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • Honorable pilots are committed to continuous learning, possess unwavering integrity, and are transparent about mistakes to ensure safety.
  • Dishonesty, deliberate rule-breaking, or deception carries severe professional penalties and compromises safety.
  • As PIC, pilots are honor-bound to prioritize safety and sound judgment, even if it means bending or breaking a rule in context to mitigate risk, always respecting the physics of flight.

Recently I got a request from an instrument student. He needed help fielding the inevitable systems and scenario-based questions about the G1000’s many failure modes.

I authored an article on that topic in 2010 for IFR, but it was insufficient given the depth and breadth of questions he could face. So I added that he should read Max Trescott’s authoritative G1000 Glass Cockpit Handbook.
