| Technically no it doesn’t change anything.
The system only works if everyone practices absolute obedience. Within that culture of obedience there’s a significant necessary element of trust that ATC is giving life preserving demands. Whether they be right or wrong, ATC is god of the air space. You tell ATC where you wanna go, and they tell you how you’re gonna get there. There’s opportunity to discuss, but in the meantime, you do exactly as you were told, up until the moment they change your instructions, and you confirm your intentions to comply.
When you are the one in the air, it can be difficult to properly assess a weather situation like that, especially if it’s at night. Not many pilots are flippant about being in a storm, especially with passengers on board. | |
