- You don't know what you don't know.
- Much of what you think you know is incorrect.
- Together, we must find out why you don't know
what you don't know.
- It is practice of the right kind that makes
perfect.
- You will never do well if you stop doing better.
- Students never fail, only teachers do.
- A student's performance is not so much a
reflection on the student, as it is on the
instructor's ability to teach.
- Learning is not a straight line up... let the
teacher set the standards of performance.
- Much of learning to fly is to unlearn
preconceptions and habits.
- The way you are first taught and learn a
procedure is the way you will react in an
emergency. It's important to learn right the
first time.
- Unlearning is a very necessary and difficult part
of learning to fly.
- You learn according to what you bring into the
situation.
- Being prepared for a flight saves you money by
saving time.
- Given the choice, make the safe decision.
- If you must make a mistake, make it a new one.
- One problem is a problem, two problems are a
hazard; three problems create accidents.
- Trusting to luck alone is not conducive to an
extended flying career.
- We progress through repeated success; we learn
through our mistakes.
- An instructors knowledge is proportional to the
mistakes he's made.
- Good habits deteriorate over time.
- Accidents happen when you run out of experience.
- Self instruction is the garden that raises bad
habits.
- Our failures teach us. If you want to increase
your chances of success double your failure rate.
- ... almost always. Nothing is always.
- Luck will do for skill, but not consistently.
- The nice thing about a mistake is the pleasure it
gives others.
- You're only young once, but you can be immature
forever.
- Flying, like life, is full of precluded
possibilities.
Can't do... won't do... shouldn't do...
- What you know is not as important as what you do
with it.
