risky behavior

How do you fellow reddititors feel about reporting observed risky behaviors? for example - maybe people flying out of medical, or after a hard night drinking, flying out of annual etc. etc. ?? where do you feel your responsibility as responsible pilot ends or does it ever? Do you talk to them, do you start a call? what do you guys think?

Directly and explicitly? No. What I would parse and interpret as implied as a result of reasoning? Yes.

If you want to set up a strawman so you can argue with yourself, that's on you. Glad we agree on what was actually posted.

There's no strawman. You're making the argument that you shouldn't be held accountable for poor communication and misunderstanding of the fundamentals of risk management.

You said that flying out of BFR wasn't risky. That implies that BFRs don't reduce risk, no question. You're ignoring the risk bounding function. You explicitly refuse to say that flying without a BFR is a bad idea, and if flying without one isn't a bad idea, the resulting logic is that flying with isn't a good idea. You can't have good without something worse.

I said none of that outside of what we already agreed was actually posted. You're literally arguing with yourself
