My thoughts exactly whenever you post.

I remember my first solo, my heart was in my throat as I taxied out, I was so nervous!!!
If you aren't nervous the first time you fly an airplane by yourself, you don't apreciate the gravity of the situation.
You weren't nervous the first time you flew an airplane by yourself?

Really? That's the most foolish thing I've ever heard. Never turn off your critical thinking, you will die if you do.
And it depends on the situation whether I fly the company profs to the letter. Company profile at my old company said 180Kts in the climb, you'll never make it out of the icing at that speed, so you pitch for the book icing penetration speed of 140. My current company says 100 on down wind, 90 on base, 80 kts on final, sometimes, if you want to take care of the engine, these speeds are not possible, so no, it depends very much on the situation whether I fly to the letter of the company profs.
You can be so nervous your hands are shaking but still comfortable with the situation dealt to yourself and confident you'll execute.
Every time I play in a golf tournament, I'm so nervous on the first tee it's hard for me to get the club back. When I'm in the hunt, I get nervous over 3-4 foot putts and it's hard to take the putter back. That said, I know I've worked hard enough at it that I'll execute without a problem. I'm perfectly comfortable being nervous.
Point: Nerves has nothing to do with confidence, comfort in the situation and executing your task within your limits.
Scared, on the other hand is when you have no idea what is going to happen because you haven't done it before and it's outside your personal limits. Imagine trying to shoot an ILS to mins on your first solo. You wouldn't have been nervous, you would have been scared. There's a huge difference. Extreme, but valid example.

chklfrtGenerally people who use made-up words like "inconfident" majored in gym class during their formative years.
My company says first notch of flaps and approach checklist at 20 miles out. Then gear down and flaps full at 10 miles out.

Right behind you.Here is the first Airnet toilet thread I've ever seen on JC. I'm going back to the OOTSK forum.
Wow, was that necessary?
What exactly do you laugh about in my posts? Seriously, now I'm vaguely interested in your opinion.
Though I'm not there anymore, this had nothing to do with you.<-- sorry I started the thread that has been so offensive to the good people at AirNet

Let's start with you answering a simple question that you have so far managed to dodge several times: do you or do you not follow the regulations for writing up broken items on your aircraft?
You think I'm going to answer that here on the web? Nope. Yes or no, the feds will find fault.
I'm out of here, back to the real world OOTSK!
There's no fault in saying that you follow the regs. You only have something to fear if you don't follow them. I think that gives us our answer.
You've never broken a reg? Ever? Really PCL? Really?
