This is one of those things that impresses me about professional pilots. In the above scenario, a pilot, after thirty years of flying, experiences his first problem on take-off that requires a RTO--and he's ready for it. He handles exactly as trained. That's a fine edge to keep sharp over thousands of routine operations--would seem to take very disciplined thinking to not let past history grind down your readiness.
Am I right?
