Irish Armada
So in our primary training we are beaten over the head about establishing conservative personal mins when it comes to weather, your aircraft, yourself, PAVE basically. But I realize that if you stuck with that attitude (which I wholeheartedly support currently) as a commercial pilot, especially a ferry pilot, you would be out of a job if you were only willing to fly in ideal conditions, aircrafts, etc. In fact, you probably are required to fly some serious pieces of sh** as a ferry pilot if you want to make any money. So how do you do it? Are your personal mins different? How closely do you examine the health of the plane you're about to fly or do you find yourself just "going for it?"
