And maybe the adage about "old and bold pilots" goes along with that - that these are two mutually exclusive types! My advise to Hamid would be look at the statistics for accident causes - top of the list is running out of fuel. What makes him think he is not part of the statistical set? I wouldn't want to be even thinking about "time/fuel available" when suddenly there is a need to skirt around some weather. Better to be down there for a "potty-break" (in fine weather), paying the landing fees (in Europe) and topping up the tanks, than to be up there sweating, swearing and punching "go to nearest" buttons, with nastiness all around ! Header tank with sight gauge. And whatever level of sophisticated electronics you want on play with as extra - after all, you deserve something to keep you amused during the dull periods.
