Just to add to Fuji's list.
8. Fly at the correct quadrantal level/altitude whenever possible. Obviously noone would fly under controlled airspace or a nav route on QFE in the UK so I don't need to add quadrantal height to please the pedants.
I appreciate that at times then this can be difficult when controlled airspace is low.
I think point 7 is also particularly applicable in these GPS days. The accuracy of GPS is a wonderful thing but it also introduces another problem of raising the possibility of 2 aircraft on reciprocal headings between two points routing through exactly the same piece of sky.
I see nothing wrong with people flying in the open FIR with no radios and no transponders in most areas. However I would suggest, for purposes of self preservation, then this might not be wise through Coventry or Doncaster's final approaches.
Good airmanship involves a large degree of common sense - my main rule in whatever I am flying is that I don't want to die in any circumstances, even if I am in the right.
I sincerely hope that everyone here shares that view.
Edited to please
