- The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. (D. Adams)
- I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery)
- Aerial navigation involves plotting the aircraft's course (heading) and airspeed, and the speed and direction of the wind. The resulting plotted line shows the track or route of the journey.
- The two principles that govern heavier-than-air flight are the same as those that propel powered vessels - action and reaction, and suction. When applied to flight, suction is known as lift.
- Get to the airport early. Eat something nutritious. Try to relax. Pick the right seat. Don't hide your anxiety.
