Agreed. I got my PP license 40 years ago on a 172, then 4 years ago went thru training again to renew but quit due to the condition of the planes (all 150's, 172's). I also quit because I realised (maybe because I'm older now), that there is no place for a part-time pilot. Too dangerous. Either you fly every day or don't fly at all because eventually something is going to happen, especially considering the planes I was flying and if you fly 1-2 times a month you are ill-equipped to handle any emergency situation.



You made a very mature decision. I wish more people were honest with themselves like you.


I got into skydiving and quit because of the same reason you mention.

Certain activities are inheritently dangerous, unless you get regular practice, statistics will eventually cause a fatality someday.
