The maximum tailwind component of the airplane is 10 knots. The actual tailwind calculated is 11 knots. Other aircraft are continuing to land, so you decide to ignore the limitation and land as well. Which hazardous attitude are you displaying?

A

Impulsivity.

B

Resignation.

C

Anti-authority.✓ Correct Answer

Explanation

Knowingly disregarding a published limitation because 'others are doing it' reflects the anti-authority attitude ('Don't tell me'), which resents rules and limitations. Impulsivity is acting without thinking, and resignation is believing nothing one does makes a difference.
