Perhaps you’re a better pilot than I. I just know that a few minutes in the sim every few months would leave me woefully unprepared should the lights start flashing on a stormy night. On top of that, I find immense satisfaction in turning off the magic and having fun.
If I want ‘fun’ I climb into an Extra or a Pitts. When I go to work I operate the Company’s aircraft to the best of my ability to ensure a safe and efficient flight. That means using the equipment in the most professional way that I can. ‘Turning the magic off and having fun’ says it all.
