[QUOTE="ajaf1656, post: 16359248, member: 196707"] To get your private pilot certificate, you need to be able to demonstrate "go/ no go" decision making capabilities. This is built upon from that point forward with each successive rating you earn. Pilots are taught from the beginning that they might be pressured to fly in conditions below what is legal, safe or below their own personal limitations. The pilot in command is ultimately responsible for making the decision to fly. The passenger can always decide not to go, but the decision to fly in conditions of elevated risks falls solely on the pilot in command. I'm not a helicopter pilot, but I hear them operating around SoCal and the Bay Area frequently. ATC relies on these pilots to be honest about adverse weather conditions as they navigate through very busy and complex airspace. They can give you weather observations, but generally speaking, they rely on the pilot to keep themselves legal. Flight visibility is : "The average forward horizontal distance, from the cockpit of an aircraft in flight, at which prominent unlighted objects may be seen and identified by day and prominent lighted objects may be seen and identified by night." ATC can tell you they are showing visibility of 1/8th mile. That might restrict a pilot from attempting an instrument approach to an airport, but outside of the terminal approach environment, the pilot is responsible for determining flight visibility and their compliance with the rules. The pilot in command is also responsible to ensure the airworthiness status of their aircraft before conducting every flight. Part of that means ensuring you have the required equipment for the conditions of flight you may encounter. [/QUOTE]
