Yeah as a former student pilot (and that is all) I was curious about their specific knowledge and terminology.
Maintaining altitude was what I found most difficult as a student pilot my instructor drew a line on the windscreen with a marker to help me. I could vary 1,000 feet or more up or down before the instructor told what was going on.
Knowing how to get the frequency for the tower or just knowing they had to was telling.
And landing is tricky knowing to aim at the end of the runway as if you're going to crash and then flare as if you're going up again. All counter-intuitive to anyone who is not aware that's what's done. Not to mention speed, flaps, rudder control.

And the barf oh the barf!
