One day, you're going to wake up, and go out, and fly, and you won't even think anything special about it. It's not that you will be complacent (although that's something you have to actively avoid), just that it will become normal.

Recovery from error is the hardest thing to teach a student, particularly for my students who don't have the skill to correct the error, much less the focus to do so. Everybody does it at some point.

You can take a mental break in an airplane, by the way, and it will probably help. If things are going to shit and you are hung up on this or that error, try this: don't say anything, look at your ADI, and just freeze it for six seconds. Count to six in your head too. As long as you have 500 feet of altitude below you, you always have six seconds to waste. Take them, they're free.
