# Surviving as a emote Wildlife Survey Pilot
/. We needmore analy ing skills than the bestbrain surgeon. We have not only ourpatients'[passengers '} lfle in our hands but also ouro n intermixed with all the various aspects offlying.
We have theproblem. qf thepatientaffecting our judgment on how we make ourde isions on what the safest way to proceed is: ·

a. The**passeng~r**

# s 'ck. b. Thepassenger is 'lenJous. 

# c. Thepassenger is ]impatient and wants. to get home orget on the**g1~ound.**

2. 

# We must nothave on the basics in.flying skills but the ability andskill to.fly

# atslow airspeeds in inhospitable terrain lookingfor th species qf choice.
3. At the same time we Jist keep the bigpicture in view at all 

# times andnotget f,ted on the species.
4. We must know the abkolute limits qf 

# the aircraft under the present conditions bJt 

# be able to.fly 

# the aircraft to those limits.
5. We must be cognizan qfthepresentlA.Jeather conditions but also know what is ha .1Jening to the big weatherpicture.**~ ~HU'-'** **1** II' ICIIl 4

# 6. We mustkeep as ma1 y

# options open as long aspossible. We mustalways have an out andnumerousplaces to safely land.


# 7. We mustknow when ;e are dealing with stable and unstable air masses. When de .lingwith stable air masses then we do not need to commit a much ofour brainpower to deal with weather conditions.
8. When dealing with w.stable air masses a largeportion qf our brain is devoted to w 1at is happening with the weatherand making ourbail out .ecision before it 

# is too late. 

# 9. This is no time for u 

# iet home itis ". You need to go to the nearest landingplac andwait things out.
To sunlive in this business Je1Jllong requires one to adhere to certainprincipals:


# I. Deal with the handy u have been given. 2. Don't worlJ; about th ngsyou can't change. 

# 3. Your list qf options is always changing butyou neverwant to run outof them at the sam time. 

# 4. Your fuel loadnot on determines how many optionsyou have but whereyou canfat

# d. 5. 

# Never, never, never l 

# t so1neone else fuelyour aircraft oradd oil. 6. Don 't wony about th need to gethorne irnmediately. 

# 7. Secondguessingyou'fJ·etf is wasted energy: 8. Don 't let them seeyo .sweat.
When youroptions startgo(ng awayyou may need to isolate yourse{ffrornyourpassengerso thatyou can devoteyourse!f to the task athandand not withy urpassenger's nervousness. The FAA has 

# it right in FA 135.100. 

# There should be a sterile coclqJitduring criticalpha Tes**qfjlight~** 

# This is an absolute until you getyourpreciouspass .ngerandyour se!f to a safeplace.

# You may have to tellyour 1

# assengernot to talk and 

# if that doesn't work than you may need to unplug their headset. Thepilot isolate button on the annuncierp 

# rei works wondeifUlly.
Thepilot must have the co.J nes to bepilot in commandand notdo the things that thepass eng r wants

... Thepilot must only do wh the, she feels is the safest way to complete the.flight. Don't 'sten to thepassengersay that hotshot surveypilotJohn Doe can o it soyou should be able to also. It happens thatJohn Doe ,idn 't do it either but thepilot doesn't know that.

The sto1y qf Harold Gillia 1
