We’re speaking in circles. I don’t doubt what you’re saying, but the notion was that NHCAs are out there breaking all the SOPs and being dangerous. Maybe not directly from you, but that’s the general attitude towards NHCAs.
I’m sure there are things that some seasoning could’ve helped out a lot or avoided a situation where an FSAP was required. This is going to be part of the growing process in any aviator.
And I’d consider the 737 overrun in IAH and the Maui incidents that happened partly due to complacency so there is that.
and because will probably point out the definition of complacency.
Webster definition of complacency: Self-satisfaction especially when accompanied by unawareness of actual dangers or deficiencies.
