They're different.

When you get used to flying an airplane it's very easy. I would describe it as 95% low stress- basically zoning out, answering a radio call every now and then. But the remaining 5% is intense and stressful and sometimes downright scary. Like 8th hour of flying in a day, night time, bad weather, turbulent, external pressures etc all at once.

Driving on the other hand (at least in a medium-large city is kinda mid/low range stress on and off the whole way

I mean driving is about the easiest and most intuitive thing there is.

Flying is too, really. Landing on the other hand does require some instruction and practice. Fact is you cannot have an aerodynamic stall in a car.

Driving.
Landing a plane is pretty stressful to do it right and smoothly. Also you have to be aware of everything around you. When your driving your attention is mostly limited to the road around you.

England maybe? But no, their pedal setup isn't mirrored, is it? Even though their steering wheel is on the right side of the car.
Going to to England and learning to shift with your left hand when you're used to do it with your right hand must be a mindfuck.

Bong here, I've driven LHD and RHD cars and you learn to shift with the other hand in a few minutes.

Punched my door a few times trying to swap back but always had it sorted before I left the airport carpark.

Furthermore, there are always more certificates to work on (multi-engine, instrument, CFI, CFII, ATP), and it takes some training to fly different aircraft. It sure is fun, though! Once you learn to fly, you'll find yourself pulling on your car's steering wheel whenever you hit 60 mph.

Having driven both, the hardest part of switching between RHD and LHD is staying aware of where the car is. It's easy to remember that you need to drive on the other side of the road and stuff like that, but when you're cruising along it's also easy to forget that the whole car is on the "wrong" side of you.

Flying is easy. Getting the excessive controller or check ride instructor that wants to push your knowledge and patience to breaking point, while constantly worrying that you're going to get some ailment or injury that ruins your chances of getting a medical, and dealing with all those associated stresses, that's the hard part.

lol. woes of a private pilot.

> constantly worrying that you're going to get some ailment or injury that ruins your chances of getting a medical
Maybe you were never told this but when you go to get your medical don't just pick a random AME. Ask around the airport - preferable the guys who fly commercially. AMEs (typically ones who are pilots themselves) develop a good reputation for letting stuff slide. Find one with a good reputation and lie as much as you can. its not that hard

I’ve been getting into LHD after growing up with RHD and occasionally I’ll go around a weird turn and I’ll think oh fuck am I on the wrong side. Just and involuntary concern sometimes.
