“I just read an interesting article in Flying magazine that looks at the art of flying through the lens of Malcolm Gladwell’s book Outliers. The article is titled What Makes an Expert? by Jay Hopkins.

The point of the article is that just because you have 10,000 hours of experience, does that really make you an expert? What about the Sunday afternoon pilot who only flys one airplane in nice weather in daylight, vs. the adventerous pilot who flies many kinds of airplanes in many kinds of weather conditions day or night? One pilot has flown one hour 10,000 times, and the other pilot has flown 10,000 very different hours.”
