Practicing my solo touch and go's was my pride working on my private. One day I got called up and told to visit the tower. The designated examiner was there to compliment me on my precision and accuracy. He then he explained he was about ten feet off my right wing for an hour and I never saw him once.
From then on my head is on a swivel. Never focus on one critical task. Scan and distribute your attention to all risks and obligations.

VFR you should be looking outside 95% of the time. IFR the opposite.

No kidding. After my multi-enging check ride I taxied my rented 172 out to fly back to home base. Uncontrolled airport and I neglected to make sure No one was on final. Radioed I was taking off and as I climbed out I saw a plane 200-300 feet above me. Thought for sure my check ride instructor would call and tell me my pass just turned into a fail, but guess he didn’t see me screwing up. Never made that mistake again!

Any pilot logging time in a 65/75HP Piper Cub or Aeronca Champ has experienced negative groundspeed at one time or another! Great memories!
