If a very skilled stunt/test pilot kills himself pushing an aircraft to the limit do we call him a bad pilot? No, he was very skilled pilot. He pushed it, gambled and lost. You could call him unsafe but not unskilled. See the difference?

If a stunt/test pilot gets killed on his job, doing his job, he may be a skilled pilot but that doesn’t make him a better pil0t. One of the factors about being better has to be not misjudging the situation.

Attitude is an important part of being a good,or bad,driver.I could have won the Daytona 500 for twenty years in a row but if I killed three people in an accident because I was doing 50 in a 25 that makes me a bad driver.
