The point, in context, was that a good pilot doesn't NEED to bank more than 30° in the pattern. Avoiding a midair collision, say, while you're cutting across the airport at pattern altitude
, might call for more.dtuuri

You'd be in the side of a mountain if you didn't bank more than 30 degrees at some of the airports I land at....I am also a "pro"

As usual, you are changing the context after you are shown to be wrong.The point, in context, was that a good pilot doesn't NEED to bank more than 30° in the pattern. Avoiding a midair collision, say, while you're cutting across the airport at pattern altitude

I was shown to be "wrong"? Changed the context? That's your modus operandi not mine:Take me out of context, say I'm wrong then declare victory. Why didn't you spend less time slandering and more time debugging this software? Look what happens when I tap a key at a constant typing rate and hitthesp ace bar between each tap:

To me, willingness to learn, strict use of checklists and a touch of conservatism in their flying is what makes a pilot good. I've noticed non pilots seem to be impressed by how well a pilot uses the radio. Or maybe how many compliments he has gotten on his equipment.
