Here is the CG version. Close to Navy but not quite:
"The procedures discussed in this manual are to be used as guides and shall be carried out with sound professional judgement. This instruction is not intended to cover every contingency that may arise, nor every rule of flight safety and good practice.
Successful operations require the exercise of good judgement and common sense at all levels of command. When the need arises, special instructions or waivers will be issued by Commandant (CG711), However, in the operational environment, mission demands may require on scene deviation from prescribed instructions or procedures when, in the judgement of the pilot in command, such deviation is necessary for safety or the saving of life. Such deviation must not be taken lightly and must be tempered by maturity and a complete understanding of the aircraft, mission, and crew."
Although my favorite passage of our air ops manual is as follows: "The probability of saving human life warrants maximum effort....When no suitable alternatives exist and the mission has a reasonable chance of success, the risk of damage to or abuse of the aircraft is acceptable, even though such damage or abuse may render the aircraft unrecoverable."
In the Army the rules were simple, have 3 people sign your risk assessment before flying all but the most benign flights and if you do anything that is not listed on the assessment or clearly written in the regs we will have your ass.
