3. THOU SHALL EVER TAKE HEED UNTO AIR TRAFFIC RULES : Keep a constant lookout
for other aircraft. Follow the rules so that pilots of other planes will know what you are going
to do.
4. THOU SHALL NOT MAKE FLAT TURNS : This is particularly important when making
power-off turns. You steer with the ailerons, not the rudder.
5. TH0U SHALL MAINTAIN THY SPEED LEST THE EARTH ARISE AND SMITE THEE :
Don't be fooled by the increase in ground speed resulting from a downwind turn. Keep
sufficient airspeed.
6. THOU SHALL NOT LET THY CONFIDENCE EXCEED THY ABILITY : Don't attempt
instrument flying in adverse weather conditions unless you have the proper training and the
necessary instruments. Instrument flying is a highly developed science. Don't pioneer.
7. THOU SHALL MAKE USE OF THY CARBURRETOR HEATER : The carburettor heater is
your friend. Know when to use it. Remember that it's easier to prevent ice in the carburettor
than to eliminate it after it has formed.
8. THOU SHALL NOT PERFORM AEROBATICS AT LOW ALTITUDES : Aerobatics started
near the ground may be completed six feet under the ground. There's safety in altitude.
9. THOU SHALL NOT ALLOW INDECISION IN THY JUDGMENT : Be certain! You can't
afford to make errors of judgment. "I think I can make it" is on the list of famous last words.
10. THOU SHALL KNOW ALWAYS-THE GOOD PILOT IS THE SAFE PILOT: It's better to be
an old pilot than a bold pilot.
