Never fly anything that might involve using your ar£e for an undercarriage. 
Your actual ability will always be three steps behind your perceived ability, so if you're presented with a marginal situation - don't be brave or feel pressured into pressing on; just avoid it. I'd recommend this as essential reading and a great way to learn from others' mistakes...

Hi there, firstly thanks to the moderators for the move and to the advice so far. I have that book at home so will be reading up.
Was after some pearls of wisdom or rules of thumb from the old and wise that wouldnt be taught in basic flight school, Something you wished your instructor had passed on to you so to speak.
Having recently passed the license its time to learn to fly.
Maybe slightly off topic but i'm at the stage of deciding ATPL/CPL which course? It would have to be distance learning as I work overseas.
Looked at Bristol ground school and Captonline. I have heard about time constraints and hours required for ATPL or has that been changed again?
Ultimately want to go HEMS (in an ideal world) but instructing, offshore, SAR, lighthouse resup or anything in between.
Cheers.

Here is something a little more mundane but equally useful:
Never pass up an opportunity to(1) Eat (2) Sleep (3) Visit the bathroom. You never know when the next time to do any or all of these will show up.
And, one more thing,the day you think you know all there is to know about this business is the day you need to turn in your wings.
Cheers!
