This doesn't necessarily only apply to HAA (although probably mostly), it also applies to a lot of sector's in the industry, but to make it easier I'll just word it more for HAA.
Are you the pilot that tells your med crew too much info? Maybe stuff that pertains to the PILOT's responsibilities and job description that a nurse or medic just don't, and shouldn't necessarily need to know about the PILOTS duties? If you haven't learned this yet, you will quickly, that in regards to "teaching" your med crews, less is more. And you will soon learn, that the more your crews may know about what you're suppose to be doing, or your regulations, minimums, requirements, GOMs, "aerodynamics", etc you name it - the more they will use that ammo, complain, file reports, and throw you under the bus.
This isn't intended at all so that reckless careless pilots (like most of us) can get away with more crap, it's because EVERY pilot at one point will make a mistake. A pilot can try to follow every minimum and regulation required of them (which is more and more and more every day) and still make innocent mistakes. A simple example is most GOMs now have mandatory min altitudes for their pilots. If a pilot crosses a ridge at 100 ft less than min, and a crewmember knows it and is chomping at the bit to throw his "buddy" under the bus for 1 of a million reasons some crewmembers have. Most companies have anonymous reporting systems now too which makes it even easier for crew to complain vs coming to you like a man (or woman.. don't worry).
So my pilot people... LESS IS MORE! Don't screw you and your coworker pilots over! I'm amazed at how often I see it. The more info (not required) you give them, the more ammo. Some things are needed to be known, everything else is not! How much does your nurse or medic (or any crewmember) "teach" you about THEIR regluations and minimums etc? I promise, they will still think you're smart and a great pilot even if you don't throw up all your aviation knowledge on them. Any of y'all had experience with this? I've seen it too many times. What have y'all seen??
(we'll see how many nurses and medics are on this pilot forum by how many thumbs down it gets ) |
