JT, I share your concern.
Tech Log is a very valuable resource; however the line between theory and practice is blurred, and quite often assumes that contributing posters have the same understanding.

Pilots need theory, but also and more important, how this is should be applied, the limits and assumptions in certification, and to consider the practical aspects, not least the self generated biases in risk assessment.

In our very safe industry there is increasing risk of self inflicted problems from weak understanding of the application of theory in practice. Humans like to consider the what-if situations, how to be a hero, save the day with innovative knowledge and procedure, whereas there would be greater benefit considering the 'everyday' situations which can be managed - before the event, avoided, mitigated (as below).

A testy, cold, snowy, and locked-down new year, dreaming of a sunbaked barbie (with port). Also the lack of the favourite Ozzy Red, replaced by an African white titled The Weatherman !

Situations involving lateral excursion which can be avoided.
