I had an experience earlier this year right after passing my checkride
that gave me pause...

After we shut-down, he asked me if I was taking Instrument Students...
When I told him my ppl was only a few weeks old, he seemed
astounded... "You so confident, I feel safe with you".

Never... Again...

Those little nagging voices are there to keep us pilots alive... I
should learn to listen to them more

I shudder to think about how many "pilots" operate at his level of ability
on a regular basis. I recall another guy (also of Asian persuasion but
that's not a knock on Asian pilots) who could barely understand english that
created havoc in the local [Class D] airport's pattern. There were at least
eight planes in the pattern with a few opting to leave instead of dealing
with the danger this guy created by literally not knowing which way was
North.
