In my previous post about ground looping and excessive over control, I mentioned novice problems. However, I have found that anyone can be a novice under the right conditions. Even though I have over 14,000 hours, I had not flown in 19 years when I came back to flying last year. It took me about 6 hours to get back my confidence and stop over controlling the plane. I knew that I could fly, but I was behind that SLOW Grumman trainer enough that I put in overly large inputs. Not dangerous, but certainly not acceptable. It reminded me again that a new piece of equipment makes one, maybe not a total beginner, but certainly one who needs to exercise caution.
