Several years ago I read an interesting article in the AFAP magazine. It had been reproduced from an American magazine and was a discussion on what made a good pilot.
As best I can remember, some of the salient points were:
- A good pilot will maintain a high level of situational awareness.
- A good pilot will make mistakes but will usually be quick to recognise them.
- A good pilot, recognising and correcting a mistake, will usually ennunciate it to his/her co-pilot (no rank implied).
So, while not direclty adressing your questions, being aware and having an ingrained process of review so that you quickly identify "errors", and being open to admiting that one
mucked that up, is not too bad a start.
p.s. The AFAP might be able to provide the article.
