Anti-authority?

Have you ever heard of the five hazardous pilot personalities? Maybe you know of a macho type or have a friend who exhibits anti-authority behavior?

FAR 91.13 is a catch all for doing “risky things with an airplane”. There doesn’t have to be a specific regulation for the “risky thing”. Having so would make the FAR/AIM 10 times thicker and impossible to carry or find anything.

Interpreting whether a piloting act is risky or not is up to the discretion of the FAA and punishment could be harsh depending on the severity of the risk to persons or property.
