The quality of the pilot is very much-so determined by their currency with flying. The more active a pilot you are, the better your overall skill of flying the airplane will be better.

In this regard also, is the fact the an
experienced King Air Pilot was available at Air Traffic Control.

The SEL Pilot was cool and ,as a pilot understood the basics and followed directions and landed the aircrcrft safely.

The quality of a pilot is determined by their currency.

Listening it shows the professionalism of the air traffic controllers, and even though a single-engine rated pilot, how well Mr. White did. It is an amazing feat.
