how long did it take you before getting in a plane and flying it came as easily to you as getting in your car and driving?
You should never treat flying like driving a car for the simple reason that if something goes wrong in an aeroplane you can't just stop by the side of the road whilst you work out what to do next.
Example: I had an oil filter fail and dump all the oil onto the road (due to an oil over pressure relief valve jamming, or something). In response to the screaming noise I turned off the engine and coasted to the side of the road, no problem. But this only happened because I wasn't treating driving like flying: if I'd been in "flying mode" I'd have noticed that the tacho read zero when I started the engine and never have taken the handbrake off. I hope I am
never going to treat an aircraft like that!
