Amazing man...sometimes I think that an approval paper is worth little if you got the practice.

That's a clever man!!
I don't think that I would able to do that though!! I am very typical in papers and stuff...
Even in my FS, I do not even pause it and I am really getting nervous if something happens while flying. (e.x. Bird stricke, Engine flame outs e.c.t)
I think my mind simulates the fact that I have passengers onboard so I do get a taste of the feeling of responsibility!
Even while I fly as a passenger my adrenaline is high during take offs and landings! Once I witnessed the presured air coming out of the front of the engine like a smoke while reverses were deployed in landing!! (When I got to the terminal my mother asked me "Are you ok? You look like you've seen a ghost" )

Well if we get enough time flying a PA Airbus then we should also get the skills to fly real ones as they (the PA aircraft) are very realistic

. However, forging documents is not the way to go about life.
