Always be prepared. When I'm getting more hours. I'm not firm in my confidence. Intead I feel even smaller in the aviation career.
So much to learn, and there should be no "luck" or "challenge" at all. No marginal. 1 is never equal to 1.00001.
When I first got in to the cloud for so much long time by myself. Though stressful, all the training I've done kept getting back on my head. "do this," "do that," "watch this," "watch that."
When you do it, you do it right. No second shot. That makes us one of those FEW could be a pilot.
Anyway, that scare shit outta me. And you never know how relief I am when I broke outta the cloud and see the runway and land.
Another lesson learned.
