Pilot
rules
John Brogan,
Central NJ Council
Take off’s are optional, landings are mandatory
Flying is not dangerous, crashing is dangerous.
It is better to be down here wishing to be up there than being up there
wishing to be down here.
The only moment in which you’ll have an excess of fuel is when the aircraft is
on fire.
Always remember that you fly your airplane with your head, not with your
hands.
Learn from other’s mistakes. You won’t live long enough to make all of them.
Good judgment comes from experience, experience comes from bad judgment.
There are three simple rules for a smooth landing, unluckily nobody knows
them.
Remember, in an aircraft you’re always a student.
Try to maintain the quantity
of landings equal to the number of take-offs.
Gravity never loses. The
best you can do is draw.
