over the decades i have dealt with lots of folks that love to argue. i prefer facts. even if a pilot does not wish to say the word emergency because of having to answer to company after does not resolve me of my moral obligation to attempt to help
Thank you ... = prefer facts. even if a pilot does not wish to say the word emergency because of having to answer to the company afterwards - does not resolve a pilot of the moral obligation to attempt to help
I take issue with your premise as to why pilots do not wish to say the word emergency. I’m not saying you can’t declare an emergency when you see something. I’ve used controllers to visually check my plane a few times and it is a welcomed set of additional eyes. I’m saying, over the decades, I’ve never heard of any controller declaring an in-flight emergency for an aircraft. In that case you have no moral obligation to take the situation out of the pilots (who is dealing directly with the situation), hands.
