Think about your typical car trip - people turning, changing lanes, busting
traffic lights. How many of those things you might do yourself without real
consideration.

Perhaps we fly to a higher standard... or perhaps it's just the nature of
experiencing something new. As Jay said, your definition of unusual will
change.

Admittedly, I only have about 65 hours (PP-ASEL), but I've yet to have a
flight where something "unusual" didn't happen.
Also, admittedly, half of the time, it's something dumb I've done (forgot

to
turn my transponder to ALT, etc).
However, the other half isn't.
Today for example, I almost made a completely perfect trip for a $100

burger
with nothing unusual.
On the way back, on short final (about 300 or 400 AGL) the gulfstream

that
was inching passed the hold short line decided he wanted to take the

runway.
I did a 360 and heard a comment on the radio that he must be on the wrong
radio frequency.
Wasn't that big of a deal, but is it just me?
