We all know that the real measure of any pilot is judged by the quality of their landings, everything else they might know has nothing to do with anything.
There is one other criteria about how pilots are judged, but it has nothing to do with quality landings, it's about exactly who is doing the judging.
It is the main criteria of how other pilots judge other pilots. Pilots know greasers are nothing but pure luck, so they do not care about the quality of any landings other than their own.
That criteria is about just how many hours a pilot has logged.
In all my flying adventures and training amount to only 428.6 logged hours. That makes me one step above a raw beginner. It also renders me incapable of actually judging other pilots who have more time than me.
So, to the question. How many hours have you logged since you started flying. Don't worry about the quality of your landings, this is a pilot thing.
