It takes a lot more than basics to fly a 747. *In a Cessna 152, there isn't
much else beyond the basics, but in a large commercial airliner, almost
everything is beyond the basics.

A pilot's license does not confer instant knowledge of all systems and all
details of all aircraft. A good pilot knows this.


That is why we have ratings.
You -do- understand what I mean by ratings?
