A remote pilot in command is asked by a client to fly in conditions the pilot privately considers unsafe. The pilot proceeds anyway, taking the risk mainly to impress the client and prove personal skill. Which hazardous attitude does this best represent?

Why: A published FAA UAG sample knowledge-test question defines 'macho' as the hazardous attitude a pilot displays while taking risks in order to impress others, rather than because the risk is operationally justified.

• Resignation is the opposite attitude — believing one's actions make no difference and giving up control of the outcome, not taking risks to impress others.
• Anti-authority reflects resentment of rules and authority, not risk-taking aimed at impressing someone else.
