Under what conditions?


Let me hazard a guess here; the legally required conditions.

The JFK example was probably given to show what lack of careful

But since people here have been implying that licensed pilots engage in
careful planning, this example rather undermines their argument. Of course,
many other, similar examples could be cited.

So did you hold a simulated service with simulated mourners and simulated
flowers?


No. It's just a flight simulation.

What conditions are those?

I suspect it wasn't limited to the legal minimum, however.

Of course there are many examples of pilots dying, Some of us try to
learn from other's mistakes. Not all lessons are learned well, and
accidents do happen. Your (attempted) superior attidude reminds me of
some studies that were done on MD pilots a long time ago, and maybe
JFK Jrs at that time: their attitude of whatever - being superior? --
led to an increased accident rate.

A lesson that might be learned by you is, if your life isn't all it
might be, adusting that attitude might be useful. But in your case,
it's probably too ingrained and way too late. Did you know many sel
airplanes burn as much value in fuel an hour as you can afford to eat
on in a week?

But I could be mistaken, you might be very happy with your life. It's
nice to recognize one's limitations.

It went right over your head, didn't it?

You haven't a clue.
