On a philosophical level you don’t run with scissors.
You’re told not to do something then you’re shown why not.
Levels of learning, application, correlation.
No need to get stabbed to know a knife is dangerous.
Human Factors, people become indifferent and out of practice.
A lot of private rated pilots are barely up to solo standard yet they’re happy to take up non flying family members and friends.
Walk the walk and talk the talk in the clubhouse and fly 12 hrs a year.
Unless you practice very specific things every single flight out of your twelve hours.
Spend 30 min practicing maneuvers, level turns (accurately) climbing and descending turns and steep turns. Flight at minimum airspeed and stalls in different configurations.
Then spend 30 min doing landings in various configurations and with varying speeds on downwind. Do an entire traffic pattern at 60-70kts, then fly a downwind as fast as the thing will go.
Instead people noodle straight and level for a while and call it a day.
The fried egg analogy.
The yolk is your proficiency level, the egg white is what is supposed to be your skill level.
