The following are pilot training instructions listed in a travel periodical

1. Every takeoff is optional. Every landing is mandatory.
2. If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger. If you pull the stick back, the houses get smaller, unless you keep pulling the stick all the way back, in which case the houses get bigger again.
3. Flying isn't dangerous. Crashing is dangerous.
4. It's always better to be down here wishing you were up there than to be up there wishing you were down here.
5. The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
6. The propeller is just a big fan in front of the plane to keep the pilot cool. When it stops, you can actually watch the pilot start to sweat.
7. When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No one has ever collided with the sky.
8. A good landing is one you can walk away from. A great landing is one after which you can use the plane again.
9. Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.
10. You know you've landed with the wheels up if it takes full power to taxi to the ramp.
