The Ten Commandments (of helicopter flying)

1 – He who hath inspecteth not his aircraft gives angels cause to concern him.
2 – Thou shalt not become airborne without first ascertaining the level of thy propellant.
3 – Let infinite discretion govern thy movement near the ground, for thy area of distruction is vast.
4 – Thy rotor RPM is thy staff of life. Without it, thou shall surely perish.
5 – Thou shalt not let thy confidence exceed thy ability, for broad is thy path of destruction.
6 – He that doeth his approach and alloweth the wind to turn behind him shall surely make restitution.
7 – Thou shalt maintain thy speed between ten and four hundred feet lest the earth rise up and smite thee.
8 – Thou shalt not make a trial of thy centre of gravity lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
9 – He who allows his tail rotor to catch in the thorns, curseth his children and his children’s children.
10 – Thou shalt not fly unless thou first have a type rating for thy craft!
