David’s Answer

The most important thing for any pilot is to be able to handle an emergency when things go wrong and being able to take-off, land, and fly in adverse conditions.

Courtney’s Answer

The most important thing to remember is that it’s ok to ask for help and the input of other crewmembers and air traffic control. We call this Crew Resource Management, or CRM. Nobody is perfect and keeping open lines of communication, asking for clarification and help if you need it is paramount. The majority of pilot error induced accidents could have been prevented with better communication and asking for help. It’s imperative you leave your ego at the door and learn from every flight how you can do better.
