I agree experience is more important than license type.But so is currency on type. The fact you may have 10,000hrs in your log book means little if you retired years ago and only do half a dozen hours a year to keep your license (or what you believe will keep you up to date). Over the past 30 odd years I have seen or heard of a 747 captain start to flare a c172 at 100feet,which could have ended in a fatal stall.A military captain fly a Cherokee from east of Melbourne to Parafield and have to declare an emergency due fuel exhaustion and land at Adelaide at night on vapours. I reckon just about any PPL would know better than either example. Many other examples too all because they were not current on type.
