Being a pilot isn't all seat-of-the-pants flying and glory. It's self- discipline, practice, study, analysis and preparation. It's precision. If you can't keep the gauges where you want them with everything free and easy, how can you keep them there when everything goes wrong?

they say a pilot with 200+ but <500 are, statistically, at the most dangerous point in their flying careers. i cannot site that to be fact, just have heard it. thinks its based on overconfidence in ability compared to experience level.

Hey man congrats!  You are right though, statistically pilots are more suspect to accidents/incidents to about 500 hrs and then there is a noticable drop off in occurrences. Some theorize that the pilot gone from being "comfortable" to "brave"...willing to push the limits of the aircraft and their piloting skills. Somewhere in that hour range they actually find their limits and get a good scare...usually without twisting metal or letting the FAA get involved. After they get that scare it is usually enough to get them back to using a checklist, performing better walking arounds, and following and studying the regs better. What's interesting is that there is another spike of "danger" somewhere around 1500 hrs because then they think they've seen it all and get really brave. Now the only difference that their piloting skill can usually overcome a mistake...but when they can't the consequences are usually not good. So when find your limit treat it as a learning experience.
