Jordan is a licensed commercial pilot with 15 years of flying experience who recently began teaching at a flight school. During a training flight, Jordan fails to notice a malfunction in the aircraft's navigation system, relying on outdated procedures. A student pilot gets disoriented and the flight results in an emergency landing. When assessing negligence, which standard of care should be applied to Jordan's actions?
The standard of a reasonably prudent commercial pilot with similar experience.
The standard of an average person in the general community.
The standard of the highest-skilled commercial pilot.
The standard set by the flight school's training protocols.
The appropriate standard of care for a professional is that of a reasonably prudent person with similar training and experience. In this case, the standard would be that of a reasonably prudent commercial pilot with Jordan's level of experience, making the correct answer the one that reflects this professional standard.
