@NiveusLepus My experience is limited, but to me flying a plane is less continuously hectic than driving a car. You don't have to worry about staying on the road, you don't have to watch out for other vehicles (in most airspaces). You have heading and altitude to maintain, and weather to look out for, but most of that is easy. Taking off and landing, though, are a whole nother skill set. And then there's instrument flying....
But there are fewer idiots to worry about.
