About Good Pilots and Bad Pilots

there is a really compelling reason to take this significant risk.
There are situations that warrant that, but you didn't give any
information as to any circumstance that would warrant this level of risk
taking by a non-instrument rated pilot.


What situation would warrant you to waiver from what you are telling me is
an unsafe decision?

If it's unsafe based on your opinion, then it is unsafe for any reason, no
matter how compelling and one should drive instead.

If one of my kids was in need of a transplant and had 24 hours to live
and flying to pick up the organ was the only option, then I'd take that
risk in a heartbeat. I would fly alone given the risk, but I'd do it
without hesitation.

However, such situations are extremely rare and thus don't factor into
normal decision making.
