Pilots: know thye commandments, lest you be seperated from the worldly soul.
BTW not mine... I take nooo credit for this.
1. No matter what else happens, fly the airplane.
2. It's better to be down here wishing you were up there,
than up there wishing you were down here.
3. Speed is life, altitude is life insurance.
4.No one has ever collided with the sky.
5. Never let an airplane take you somewhere
your brain didn't get to five minutes earlier.
6.If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger;
if you pull the stick back they get smaller.
(Unless you keep pulling the stick back-then they get bigger again.)
7. Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man. Landing is the first!
8. Everyone already knows the definition of a 'good' landing
is one from which you can walk away.
But very few know the definition of a 'great landing.
It's one after which you can use the airplane another time.
9. Pilots believe in clean living.
They never drink whiskey from a dirty glass.
10. Things which do you no good in aviation:
Altitude above you.
Runways behind you.
Half a second ago.
Approach plates in the car.
The airspeed you don't have.
11. Flying is not dangerous; crashing is dangerous.
12. Good judgment comes from experience
and experience comes from bad judgment.
13. The nicer an airplane looks, the better it flies.
14. A thunderstorm is never as bad on the inside as it appears on the outside. It's worse.
15.A male pilot is a confused soul who talks about women when he's flying,
and about flying when he's with a woman.
16. Try to keep the number of your landings equal
to the number of your takeoffs.
17.Takeoff's are optional. Landings are mandatory.
18. You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back.
Edited to apply to the glider pilot :D
