An experienced pilot has the justification of previous knowledge along with involvement with a similar situation, but a novice does not. This is demonstrated in video scenario three. There are different responses a Visual Flight Rules (VFR) pilot might make when faced with adverse weather. Video three represents deteriorating weather up ahead which includes areas of rain. An experienced pilot from their visual scan pattern will instantly understand that it’s not safe to keep going ahead and will turn back to their departure location or an alternate aerodrome. However from an inexperienced pilots perspective either their unable to recognize the risk ahead due to lack of inaccurate judgement, or even their unwillingness to notice the dangers. Pilots with less experience may feel optimistic of their course of action while they continue on flying into adverse weather due to their poor judgment. Soon their risky actions may lead them in to IMC conditions, by then only minutes are required to create the casual flight into a disaster. Another option maybe that the inexperienced pilot continues on but soon diverts back or is required to make a precautionary landing, which can come with different risks along with the added pressure (Batt & O’Hare, 2005). The pressure of time ticking is an addition to stress an inexperienced pilot may
