Hi!
An expert pilot is somebody that can fly any plane, in any weather and land it safely on the runway even if the engine stops at the most unconvenient position /hight imaginable.
Ok, the LT40 is flying with a 30mph tailwind at 10 feet high.
Just as you pass the runway, the engine quits.
Not even an expert is bringing that one back!
No problem. Even the intermediate poilot would have know to and how to taxi downwind to the far end of the runway. Then, in 30 mph headwind having taken off in 40 feet, he'd have the remaining 80% of the runway to nose down and land without banking to either side and getting into trouble. ;-)
