This thread has made me think!

Thinking is the road to becoming a better pilot. You think about what
you will do....you do it..........you think about what you did......you
think about the results of what you did.......then you assess, self
evaluate, and adjust if necessary.
It's a constant process that never ends for those of us who actually do
become better pilots. Unfortunately, there are some of us who don't self
evaluate in this manner. Although they do become better through practice
and training alone, they're not nearly as better pilots as they could
have been had they coupled that added training and experience with the
process of self evaluation I'm speaking about here.
Any concentrated continuous training process will make you better at
what you're doing, but the REALLY good pilots, the ones who make it to
perform at levels "above the rest" so to speak, are those pilots who are
constantly learning........practicing........self evaluating......and
"thinking" about how to be a better at what they're doing!
