1963 to 2017. I know, all the chatter, but, I loved it. Always some other type of flying or machine to operate in positions all over the world. And, like a drone video, it was me on the tip of the spear, so to speak.
If I had continued with the airline focus adopted early on I'd be darned familiar with a whole lot of runways and airports - woo hoo, eh? Instead I got to live with a whole lot of different cultures all over the world. Easy? Depends on one's attitude.
Minimums? Always flew to the regulatory minimums and never heard anything more than a few ignorant rants of very dumb management types with whom I had zero concern. If logically cornered it was a straight forward response concerning the fact if the loud mouthed character in front of me kept it up the situation would be resolved by the company and, definitely, regulatory agencies involved.
Big deal is put out the ignorant chatter by letting the morons in management behaving badly just utilize their own imagination as to what such an approach might mean to their future.
Never, ever, give up the technicals of the approach you will utilize. Have no fear and you a comfortable career will be yours, comfortable by helicopter standards anyway.
