Wheeling, soaring, and swinging will not be attempted except in
aircraft
rated for such activities and within utility class weight limits.
Be advised that sunlit silence will occur only when a major engine
malfunction has occurred.

flight
emergency is imminent.
Forecasts of shouting winds are available from the local FSS.
Encounters
with unexpected shouting winds should be reported by pilots.
Pilots flinging eager craft through footless halls of air are reminded
that they alone are responsible for maintaining separation from other

Should any crewmember or passenger experience delirium while in the
burning blue, submit an irregularity report upon flight termination.
Windswept heights will be topped by a minimum of 1,000 feet to
maintain VFR minimum separations.
Aircraft engine ingestion of, or impact with, larks or eagles should
be reported to the FAA and the appropriate aircraft maintenance facility.
Aircraft operating in the high untresspassed sanctity of space must
remain in IFR flight regardless of meteorological conditions and
visibility.
Pilots and passengers are reminded that opening doors or windows in
order to touch the face of God may result in loss of cabin pressure.
