Area of Responsibility. Biggest furphy out.

4468, nose goes up on a GA, throttles go up. Nothing "operating complex machinery" about that. If you did that 50 times in the last year, what do you reckon your chances of doing it on this occasion would be? Why? Muscle Memory (or Familiarity or Auto-whatever you called it or "been there done that"). If you don't have muscle memory, you have to think while you act. That's when you sometimes forget.
