JUDGMENT — perhaps the key to longevity in naval aviation. Judgment is obviously critical in the inflight regime where multiple decisions must be made in a timely, correct, and often irreversible fashion. Just as important, and perhaps too often overlooked, is the importance of good judgment on the ground. Knowing when not to fly, planning flights carefully, and realizing personal limitations are examples of good judgment displayed on the ground (Dunn, 1977).
