Some good advice here.
Some things you should keep in the back of your head.
Remember, if you find yourself under stress in the cockpit,
AVIATE, NAVIGATE, COMMUNICATE in that order, always.
Be mindful of 'gethereitis', it is a very real syndrome. Dont push the weather. Always remember you are much better off being down here wishing you were up there, than up there wishing you were down here!
The only time you can have too much fuel is when you are on fire!
'WATCH THIS' are the two most dangerous words in aviation.
I wish you the best of luck with it.
