TEN POINTS ON FLYING FIELD ETIQUETTE:


#10- Always offer a woman pilot the flight station without the deer dropings.

# 9 - Always inform the other pilots of your intentions, your intention to takeoff, your intention to land,
and your intention to make a big crater in the middle of the runway (it's always hard taxiing around those
fuselage tails sticking out of the ground).

# 8 - When walking up to the runway for a landing, it is impolite to walk between two people using a
buddy box.

# 7 - It's considered bad manners to yell at someone who's been tying up the runway, even for a
substantial length of time. After all, that's what water balloon bombs are for.

# 6 - It is the ultimate in bad manners to run over someone else's plane when backing out of the parking
lot, unless that plane is the only one with half a chance at beating you in the next contest.

# 5 - In Europe, it's considered the height of poor taste to groan, cry out, or make any noise at all when
a fellow flier crashes a plane. In this country, an air-horn blast is just barely considered rude.

# 4 - If a fellow flier should be unfortunate enough to seriously injure himself at the field, common
courtesy demands that you should lend any assistance necessary, such as helping him Super Glue the
forty-two inch long gash on his forehead together, so he can get back to the serious business of flying.

# 3 - If your aircraft goes out of control, it is polite to warn other pilots of the fact by calling out "HEADS
UP!". Diving under a table and yelling "YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN, SUCKERS!" is not considered
appropriate behavior.

# 2 - It is not only rude but against club rules to buzz the pits, the road, or the parking lot. On the other
hand, the guy mowing the lawn is always fair game.

# 1 - Always be considerate and patient with a beginner pilot who comes to the flying field with a trainer.
Someday he'll be a reckless egotistical ofdoubtfulllinage, just like you!
