(They will be moved to a specific thread in your behalf as soon as possible) Thu, 11 Dec 2008 03:08:28 +0000 tcl01 239871 Pilot operating on a remote airfield which is short and had a crosswind decided that conditions not right for take-off with load he had on board. He decided to radio operations and discuss offloading of passengers to enable him to make a safe take-off. This was accomplished and arrangements made for the collection of off-loaded passengers. Points noted from this excellent display of airmanship:
1. he assessed all the factors - wind, load, length of runway
2. he displayed excellent situational awareness of all the factors
3. he deliberated and made the decision to off-load
4. he discussed with his passengers his reasoning and they gladly complied with no complaint
5. he then contacted his Operations centre to inform them, and make arrangements for the passengers to be collected
6. he make a successful take-off and landing at the onward destination airfield, and the remaining passengers were collected

This very impressive display of airmanship led to the safe completion of yet another busy day in the lives of a GA company and its crew and passengers. Good work and congratulations to the pilot.
