Dan,

Sure were not talking flame here, and your points are set out clearly...... But

I am not talking about abbregating responsibility here. What I am saying is that if a flight director said the weather was too bad to fly and someone did and an accident resulted, the pilot would be labelled as reckless.

However, if the flight director and the pilot agree the weather is suitable and the plane crashes, then it is down to the pilot, but he is likely not to be called reckless. In the model world over here, it is the flight line directors authority that says it can fly or it can't. Whilst the ultimate responsbility, I agree has to be the pilots, if in the case as above, the flight director allowed the flight to go ahead, then the conditions could not have been innapropriate to fly in.

Else why have a flight director??? It is not simply a point of view role, but a marshaling and authorative role.[:-]

Chris,

You either like it or you hate it........ Marmite is an acquired taste, but I love it, but best on toast, not crumpet.........[:'(]

Livinabox,

Get out of your box and have a read!!!!! Once was pilot error, two is unknown, and 3 is being debated here to an extent!!!
