[QUOTE="shootski, post: 2401089, member: 106014"] Checklists are good. Process is good. Practice is good. Progression is BETTER! IF we learn by progression from the simple fundamentals working toward adding all the details and Nuance to our skill set we improve the quickest. As an example: i learned how to land on long wide runways in the first 1/3, then I progressed to landing on the numbers, next came FCLPs (Field Carrier Landing Practice) done on a tiny patch of that long wide runway. Finally after a great deal of practice an HARD NOSED evaluations by the Instructor LSO (Landing Signal Officer) i was cleared to fly out to the Boat on a near perfect day to try my ingrained skills on the real thing. Was I done learning once I did those two touch & goes and six qualification (arrested landings) Traps. Not by a long shot. There was still learning to do it in weather and at NIGHT. Never got complacent when that Flight Deck heaved 12' up and down in Giant Seas when the wind howled in the North Atlantic. Never GET RUSHED! Take the Go Round and come back for another pass. In target shooting the best advice I ever got was you can add 100+ to your score by NOT taking shots! You know the ones when that little voice whispers, "Your NOT ready!" [/QUOTE]
