I am not a professional pilot. I was though, first licensed 30 years ago, and have 5000+ hrs since then. During all of that time, I have come to learn that for those very brief moments during which I feel fully comfortable flying, I'm probably not paying enough attention, and am missing something.

I continue to try to ward off complacency, by wondering what I'm missing as I fly. I hope that I never feel completely comfortable, just comfortable enough to be safe, and instill appropriate confidence in my passengers and insurance company!

Things tend to slip by those who satisfy themselves that they are fully "confortable flying".
