I have to disagree, on that one. A proficient pilot never puts himself in a
situation like that, in the first place, ideally.

If one flies a lot, one is bound to experience an unplanned mechanical
failure of some type that could be classified as a minor emergency.

Proficiency is not always about "avoiding" a situation, but rather
sometimes it is about "handling" an unavoidable situation.
