Great responses! Thanks to one and all.

Ed - nope - not feeling any pressure...and I agree with your statements about judgement. The scenario I presented was the case on Sunday when I had a x/c scheduled in the Tomahawk.

I made the No-Go call and felt great about doing so.

Of course, I was pissed that I didn't get to fly, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

The reason I asked is pretty self-explanitory: I wanted to see the type (meaning - experience, not personality type) of pilot that would make the GO decision.

I have just over 100 TT and those winds - in a Tomahawk - just don't jive with me right now. Maybe not ever in a Tomahawk for that matter. They're not the most stable of airplanes.

Had I rented a 172 or the Warrior - maybe - I don't know.

Thanks again for the replies!!
