Almost at 1000hrs, have always tried new and challenging stuff, in the early days it was quite a bit of aero's, later longer distance flights like Brisbane to Singapore in a light twin etc etc..
Had a few emergencies and it is safe to say that although they all ended well, when looking retrospectively there were a number of things that could have gone better and subsequent revisions of POH and other material in slow time were able to give me answers which locked in the experience.
I think though that in every case, the primary thought in my head was "fly the aeroplane and when I have stable flight and time, think about everything else...", there might just be something in that....
