Three, actually. Experience is the glue that holds control and knowledge
together. Experience is what enables one to know not only what is
possible, but what is likely, before it happens and while something can
still be done about it.

It's not all in the book, and control that's adequate for solo, or even
a type rating, is just the beginning of becoming a pilot.

May I add......flying is a constant series of corrections. The major
difference between an old pro and the new pilot? The old pro sees the
need for the changes much more quickly so the resulting changes are
smaller. To the inexperienced it seems like the old pro hasn't done
anything at all.
