Rules Of The Air
• Every take off is optional. Every landing is
mandatory.
• If you push the stick forward, the houses get
bigger. If you pull the stick back, they get smaller.
That is, unless you keep pulling the stick all the
way back, then they get bigger again.
• Flying isn't dangerous. Crashing is what's
dangerous.
• It's always better to be down here wishing you were
up there than up there wishing you were down here.
• The ONLY time you have too much fuel is when you're
on fire.
• The propeller is just a big fan in front of the
plane used to keep the pilot cool. When it stops, you
can actually watch the pilot start sweating.
• When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No one
has ever collided with the sky.
• A 'good' landing is one from which you can walk
away. A 'great' landing is one after which they can
use the plane again.
• Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live
long enough to make all of them yourself.
• You know you've landed with the wheels up if it
takes full power to taxi to the ramp.
• The probability of survival is inversely
proportional to the angle of arrival. Large angle of
arrival, small probability of survival and vice versa.
• Never let an aircraft take you somewhere your brain
didn't get to five minutes earlier.
• Stay out of clouds. The silver lining everyone
keeps talking about might be another airplane going in
the opposite direction. Reliable sources also report
that mountains have been known to hide out in clouds.
• Always try to keep the number of landings you make
equal to the number of take offs you've made.
