Should I be scared -- C172 over Gross

I'm not sure if you are trying to be ironic here, but wtf did you expect?
If you just wanted to hear "Sure, do it, you're the greatest", why not
talk to the mirror? You got a ton of good information - and now it is up
to you to incorporate that in your decision making process. All part of
being PIC.


Sounds like he did. Showing the thread to the PAX is the "keep your
passengers informed of the risks" advice chicken coming home to roost,
and he made the right choice. Which is to say, he could have probably
made the trip anyway, but, he made the decision that probably any
examiner would want to hear on a Private, Commercial or CFI checkride.

I think it's a bad idea to flak people for asking these sorts of
questions on this forum, especially when they take people's advice.
