Good for a distraction, but honestly he's 120hr pilot, he doesn't need distractions. Just my 2-cents. It's like giving every teenager their cell phones, and telling them to text while driving.........oh wait they already do.
Here's something I think would be of at least some comfort. Have you spent any time in the Maintenance shop? Take a look of the inner-workings of the engines that are torn apart if you can. Get a feel for how all the motions go, etc.. Hopefully the Mechanics can instill some confidence in their work, but always remember as PIC it is your responsibility to insure things are ready for safe flight, but knowing what those are by educating yourself of the finer points of your aircraft will help you in the long run.
