Summary 277 Max talks with CFI Chris about how his self-imposed pressure and stress led to multiple incidents and accidents. Chris shares how a 1-hour checkout with the new owner of a Cessna 170 led to an accident. But Chris also had two other accidents or incidents within a 3-year period. He attributes all of them to external pressures and stress, and his tendency to try to pack too much into a day.
