Posted: Tue Jul 21, 2009 3:00 amI just got sent a link to a page of aviation 'cliches' - or "pearls of wisdom" as I prefer to call them. I'd post the list here but it's rather long, so here's the link and a couple of my favourites :

Fly it until the last piece stops moving.
Standard checklist philosophy requires that pilots read to each other the actions they perform every flight, and recite from memory those they need every three years.
To go up, pull the stick back. To go down, pull the stick back harder.
Forget all that stuff about thrust and drag, lift and gravity, an aeroplane flies because of money.
A thunderstorm is nature's way of saying, "Up yours."
The three best things in life are a good landing - wait, no, I can't post that one here. Go search the page for it
