Aviation safety
 

Hello all, I seek your assistance. I need to write some GA safety related articles for a non commercial usage. I am not a journalist but have been in aviation all my life. I am looking for short and snappy comments, ie "it is better to be down here wishing you were up there than up there wishing you were down here". I am also looking for longer articles that can be condensed into about 200 -300 words. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have a good and genuine reason for asking. Thanks

One of my favourites :ok:

"There are lots of opinions about engine management, but data has no opinion!"

Check your PM's, might be able to help if I knew more about what you need.

Oh look out, the Jehovah's Witness is onto you! :ugh:

:E

How about: I know there's a lot money in aviation, I put it there.

Or: the easiest way to make a small fortune in aviation is to start with a big fortune.

Want fries with that?

As useless as he runway behind you.

As useless as the altitude above you.

The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire

As useless as hours in a Navigator's logbook

The only time you have too much fuel is when you are on fire.:p

"Hey, watch this"!

"Here, hold my beer for a bit will ya"!

"Good evening ladies, it's a pleasure for you to meet me."

"Altitude, Brains, Airspeed - at least two are required for the safe completion of a flight"

Experience is what you have just after you needed it.

Learn from the mistakes of others as you won't live long enough to make them all yourself.

confirm thy airspeed on final, least the earth rise up and smite thee.

If you are bored flying, your standards are too low

Insisting on perfect safety is for people who don't have the balls to live in the real world.

you have never been lost, until you have been lost at Mach 3

your chances of survival, are in direct proportion to your angle of arrival.

carelessness and overconfidence are usually far more dangerous than deliberately accepted risks.

A $34.50 fuse will protect itself by destroying the $500,000 aircraft it is attached to...

A 'Multi Engine Command Instrument Rating' indicates that the holder of such has received enough training to know when he should stay on the ground.

A superior Pilot uses his superior skills to stay out of situations which would require his superior skills to get out of such a situation.

Never take thine altitude in vain,
Lest mother earth rise and smite thee.

One for the skydivers.

Blessed are those who delay too long
for theirs shall be a lasting impression.

What aeroplane has a 20 cent fuse????

I quite like the FAA stuff FAA Safety Briefing

We all start our adventures in aviation with an empty bag of experience and a full bag of luck. The aim is to fill that bag of experience before you run out of luck.

You are never lost.
You can always say I'm somewhere in Australia.
The trick is narrowing it down from there.
