1.0 Rules of the air

1.1 Remember that gravity is not just a good idea, it's the LAW. AND, it's not subject to repeal!

1.2 Every takeoff is optional. Every landing is mandatory!

1.3 It's always better to be down here wishing you were up there than to be up there wishing you were down here!

1.4 You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck!

1.5 Good judgement comes from experience. Unfortunately, the experience usually comes from bad judgement!

1.6 Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself!

1.7 The air does not know you are an expert. Turbulence is Nature's way of reminding us we are not birds!

1.8 You're not a real pilot until you have to hitchhike back to the LZ!

1.9 The site working really great today is always at least 100 kilometers away. You should have been here yesterday!

1.10 Work is permanent, good flying weather is transitory. Work is for people who don't fly paragliders!
