Pilotwolf : great perception



So far the posts given are technically correct but of absolutely NO practical value.


Tip : don't post a thread like this on pprune and expect to get useable responses.

- Always RTFM....!!

- Never believe you know it all! No matter how easy it all appears to get with time, there is always much, much more to learn, and always more practise required to keep on top.

Always keep the pointy end facing forward as much as possible.

Keep the NR in the Green; TOO little or TOO much are equally deadly!

ARIA from Malarky Jim:

Point the way you're going, and go the way you're pointing

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

OK, I'm usually the flippant one around here, but here's some serious ones for a change:

1. Never assume anything.

2. If you're not sure what just happened - stop and check !

3. When the weather turns to cr*p - land or turn back while you still have the chance. If you've been worrying about it for 30 seconds, that's long enough.

Don't flare too low cock- you will see your arse.

Apologies to George the greatest maker of a cup of "S**t!". By the way, does anyone know if he is still alive?

Treat every flight like it was your final one....one day it will be. Hopefully, you will know it before the takeoff .

One piece of advice given to me that has saved my skin: Always have a planned escape route!

(credits go to a very experienced RAF Chinook pilot for that one )

Don't marry a woman - they are always a pain in the back side.
Don't marry a man - they have the same problem.
Marry one of the others!
