Pass on a story of how you made a bad decision and how you corrected to get out of a possible Accident.
Anything that could help a crew comlpete their mission.

Made a very bad decision once by agreeing to fly in a Robinson R22.
After looking closely at the thing I then made an extremely good decision by inventing some plausible excuse why I couldn't go flying right then.
After watching the subsequent (one up, hot day, no wind) hairy departure, I think I certainly prevented an accident that day!

Remember once putting the VV slightly below the horizon. The cows started to get bigger, so I elected to make a mild pitch correction (nose-up variety) and return to cows to normal size. Was only later that evening in the bar that the shakes set in once I realised how close I'd come to certain death.

We don't do 'Lessons Learned' any more - that implies doing something constructive or corrective!!
Its now 'Lessons Identifed' (or Ignored) - which allows the top management to say that they have identified a problem but that does not necessarily mean they will be doing anything about it!!!

I ashamedly admit that I flew under the influence of a certain bottle of Scotch one day as a lad.
I regret it, but lived.......My God I nearly hit the ground!
Lesson:
DON'T DRINK AND FLY!
I am alive, but should I have stoofed in on that day (18 years ago??), it would have been cut and dry for the BOI.
