I won't fault you though for treating it yourself as a hard limit as not wanting to trust ground crew or a person with a camera to say what is clear to go above 40%.
this whole job and company revolves around CYA… anyone going above beyond a limit, even a discretionary one, is introducing unnecessary career risk
