Aviation 101
Here are a few of the lessons you'll learn when taking Aviation 101:
Sorry if this has been posted recently, i didnt know!
It's best to keep the pointed end going forward as much as possible.
Takeoff's are optional. Landings are mandatory.
Flying is not dangerous; crashing is dangerous.
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)
The propeller is just a big fan in the front of the plane to keep the pilot cool. Want proof? Make it stop; then watch the pilot break out into a sweat.
The probability of survival is equal to the angle of arrival.
The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
Every one 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.
You know you've landed with the wheels up when it takes full power to taxi.
Keep looking around; there's always something you've missed.
Try to keep the number of your landings equal to the number of your takeoffs.
Gravity never loses! The best you can hope for is a draw!
Any pilot who relies on a terminal forecast can be sold the Brooklyn Bridge. If he relies on winds-aloft reports he can be sold Niagara Falls.
Always remember you fly an airplane with your head, not your hands. Never let an airplane take you somewhere your brain didn't get to five minutes earlier.
Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.
And Always Remember, you're always a student in an airplane
