Well, I believe taking chances can be advantageous in most cases...even in aviation.
Okay, I'll clarify, never do something that you feel might put yourself, your passengers, other pilots, or anyone on the ground in more danger than necessary. If there is a fork in the road (or the sky
), always take the path that you feel is most safe and reasonable.I can't say I haven't taken some, oh....let's say......not-so-wise choices and it's all turned out fine and dandy, but it's not the best move to make when it could cost your life or someone elses.
If no one ever took chances, nothing would have ever happened.
