Outside influences, pressures from employers or passengers, get there itis and trying to meet deadlines can pressure you to make a flight when you probably shouldn't. 

​

Safety of yourself and your passengers is priority one. Don't force the flight into unfavorable conditions or push yourself beyond your limits and experience level. It's better to rent a car or land at an alternate airport than to become a statistic.

​

It's a good idea to establish flight minimums for yourself and stick to them. 

Below is a link for the FAA recommended personal minimums worksheet. If conditions are beyond or below your personal minimums don't fly.
