Overconfidence in the airplane, and your own ability. It’s called “Ego”.

Not if the pilot has any air sense.
There are old pilots and bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots.

Depends on the type airplane.
Tricycle gear, low wing,heavier...is one thing.
High wing tail dragger is something else entirely.
