• “The duty owed is, therefore, Florida’s ‘traditional standard of reasonable care, that which a reasonably careful person would use under like circumstances.’ ”
• “[district] court’s recognition that the duty of care owed is commensurate with the risk involved is in accord with Florida law.”
• “The nature and extent of the duty of due care which 22-12316 Opinion of the Court 15 air traffic controllers owe pilots and their passengers is a question of law[.]”
• court found that a controller’s failure to do more to assist a pilot by providing the pilot with a warning that the plane was in the immediate vicinity of danger constituted a proximate cause of the crash
