"Negligence requires willful and deliberate ignorance of rules/procedures/practices"
I disagree, negligence suggests that conduct has fallen short of a reasonably expected standard of care. Was it negligent to leave the ground at all? Maybe, but between then and the final result it is hard to see how the term "negligence" is not appropriate.
It is a chilling read - something I think all novices should get in the habit of reading so if you find yourself considering whether to take a risk a light goes off somewhere in the brain. I'd be interested in finding the AAIB report for the Wycombe/Booker incident last year with the helicopter-plane.
