Docendo Discimus...We learn by teaching. When by yourself, you are the instructor.
-
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.
-
Unlearning is a very necessary and difficult part of learning to fly.
-
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.
-
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.
-
It's great to be good; even better to be lucky.
-
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 and bad habits take root.
-
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 efforts.
-
... almost always. Nothing is always.
-
Luck will do for skill, but not consistently.
-
One should never underestimate the stimulation of eccentricity in a teacher. It challenges the teacher, too, when occurring in a student.
-
The nice thing about a mistake is the pleasure it gives others.
-
If you fly long enough the 'answer' is going to be "Carburettor Heat".
-
Never underestimate the stimulation of eccentricity.
-
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.
