My impression is that you will do well as a pilot. You scared the chit out of yourself and admitted it.

You may not find as much empathy from the 121-their-whole-life guys, but those of us who have flown in the 91 and 135 realms have all had flights like yours. We survived and learned when to say No. If you learned when to say NO, you will be a good pilot.... and I would be glad to fly with you (when you get a few more hours of error free flying).

FWIW, many of the 250 hour wonders that happened a few years ago never learned the lesson you did. Count yourself lucky to have gotten that experience.
