In my previous post where I said learn from your mistakes and fly safe, I may have sounded cavalier. Please let me try again.

Those of us who have flown single pilot, to uncontrolled fields in unfamiliar territory, in bad weather, in less than ideal aircraft, have all gotten into places that made us question our decision making. Welcome to the club. Most of us survived and learned. You survived. Whether you learn or not is an indication of your life expectancy in airplanes.

Learn your lesson, do better planning, when the unforeseen happens find a way out, and remember a whining spouse is far less bad than a grieving one, and you will do fine.
