Hello all,

What are some similarities and differences between flying small single or two engine aircraft and driving a car? If someone is a good driver, is he or she also a good pilot? Can you please be as specific as possible? I’m trying to prove a point to my brother. Thanks!
EDIT: I’m talking about General Aviation (i.e. flying that isn’t the scheduled airlines or military, typically “little planes” and “biz jets”). Please don’t make any comparisons to big aircraft. Obviously, those are much harder to control than a car.
