Ten Commandments for Safe Flight
Author Unknown
1. Thou
shalt abstain
from the intersection takeoff for, verily, the runway behind
thee,
as the altitude above thee, cometh not to thine aid when thou needest
them.
2. Thou
shalt not
linger on active runways lest thou become like unto ground
sirloin.
3. Ignorest
thou
not thy checklists for many are the switches, handles, gauges and other
demons awaiting to take cruel vengeance upon thee.
4. Thou
shalt cast
thine eyes to thy right and also to thy left as thou passeth through
the
firmament lest thy fellow pilots bring flowers to thy widow and comfort
her in other ways.
5. Buzzeth
not, for
this shall surely incur the wrath of thy neighbors and the fury of the
FAA shall be called down upon thy head.
6. Thou
shalt be
ever mindful of thy fuel lest there be nothing in thy tank to sustain
thee
upon the air and thy days be made short.
7. Trust
not thine
eyes to lead thee through the cloud lest the Archangel Gabriel await
thee
therein.
8. Thou
shalt not
trespass into the thunderstorm lest the tempest rend the wings from thy
chariot and cast thee naked into the firmament.
9. Put not
thy trust
in weather prophets, for when the truth is not in, then they shall not
accompany thee among thy ancestors.
10. Often
shalt thou
confirm thine airspeed on final lest the earth rise up and smite thee.
