Those who hoot with the owls by night, should not fly with the eagles by day. Piloting is best done with a clear head and in clear skies.

If you stand in a library and go Aaaaaaggggggggghhhhhhhhh!!! then everyone just stares at you. But do the same thing in an aircraft and everyone joins you.

The only time you have too much fuel is when you’re on fire. There are exceptions to this rule if the aircraft is over gross or if some other consideration like a short field takeoff or high density altitude make reducing load advisable or for aerobatic aircraft which usually fly with reduced fuel in order to reduce loadings due to g force and to increase performance.

Estimate what you think its’ going to cost to own a plane. Be brutally honest, down to the penny – and then DOUBLE it.

It’s easy to make a small fortune in aviation. You start with a large fortune.
