Rethinking Aviation Personal Minimums

After getting my instrument ticket, I flew with a CFI who said it was our obligation as pilots, to build our skills to ensure our personal minimums were the same as FAA minimums.

That kind of thinking may be misconstrued in a dangerous way but does create some lofty goals. It also is focused on defining personal minimums in terms of Ceilings, Visibility, and Winds (speed and direction). I think those may be too limiting. I prefer to expand the definition to include proficiency and confidence. To find out more, take a listen. And I've included a link to my Go / No Go Video which is how I was able to get more Go Decisions instead of No Go.
