Rules of flying

[Roy Halvorsen]

THE RULES OF FLYING

 

1. Every takeoff is optional. Every landing is mandatory.

 

2. 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.

 

3. Flying isn't dangerous. Crashing is what's dangerous.

 

4. It's always better to be down here wishing you were up there than up

there wishing you were down here.

 

5. The ONLY time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.

 

6. 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.

 

7. When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No one has ever collided with

the sky.

 

8. A 'good' landing is one from which you can walk away. A 'great' landing

is one after which they can use the plane again.

 

9. Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all

of them yourself.

 

10. You know you've landed with the wheels up if it takes full power to taxi

to the ramp.

 

11. The probability of survival is inversely proportional to the angle of

arrival. Large angle of arrival, small probability of survival and vice

versa.

 

12. In the ongoing battle between objects made of aluminum going hundreds of

miles per hour and the ground going zero miles per hour, the ground has yet

to lose.

 

13. Good judgment comes from experience. Unfortunately, the experience

usually comes from bad judgment.

 

14. It's always a good idea to keep the pointy end going forward as much as

possible

 

15. Remember, gravity is not just a good idea. It's the law. And it's not

subject to appeal.

 

16. Keep looking around. There's always something you've missed.

 

17. The three most useless things to a pilot are the altitude above you,

runway behind you, and a tenth of a second ago.

 

18. Helicopters can't fly; they're just so ugly the earth repels them.

 

19. Never let an aircraft take you somewhere your brain didn't get to five

minutes earlier.

 

20. 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.

 

21. Always try to keep the number of landings you make equal to the number

of take offs you've made.

 

22. There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing. Unfortunately

no one knows what they are.

 

23. You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The

trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

 

24. If all you can see out of the window is ground that's going round and

round and all you can hear is commotion coming from the passenger

compartment, things are not at all as they should be.

 

AND FINALLY,

 

25. When in doubt, take AMTRAK. They may crash more, but they don't have to

fall before they do!

 

Ha en god dag

Nei, har sett denne fleire gonger her før. På norsk og til og med.

Dette er selvsagt ei obligatorisk sjekkliste før take off enhver pilot med respekt for seg selv må gå gjenom....
