When 411a talks about experience, I actually concur with his philosophy. While 2800 hrs TOT is not to be sneezed at, his total time and age would suggest that he has not faced a diverse range of operational conditions and experiences, from which maturity evolves.

Being experienced in a narrow spectrum of the industry can lull a driver with lots of TOT into a false sense of accomplishment.

411 sounds (like any pilot who has bent a little metal...) as though he values this diversity in work experience to make calculated risk-assessments - but not in a rushed context. This is an error commonly made by "inexperienced" pilots.

I will expect this to be a causal contribution to the accident.



The Canadian MOT encourages us to learn from the mistakes of others, as we probably won't live long enough to make them all ourselves...
