Slartibartfast 153 Posted November 3, 2011 Me I am just glad that when I fly the airplane takes off and lands okay... normally with all its parts though some may have moved around in flight. Like the time I went to Washington DC and my luggage went to Jamaica... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derk 265 Posted November 9, 2011 Things lik this are the reason pilots have to do such a lot of training... Now one sees the usefullnes of a pilots license with a lot of flying hours, simulator hours, practice landings etc A job very well done !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted November 10, 2011 Training and experience are both necessary, because there's no way to cover it all in training, and there's little chance you'll remember everything years later if you've not used it.
