AT T I T U D E F LY I N G :
Modern professional flight
training experts have been
stressing techniques in recent
years to develop keen proficiency in Attitude Flying.
They teach us that keepinK
the aircraft properly positioned with respect to the
earth and surrounding air will
surely produce accurately controlled flights and s,~oth
landings.
May we borrow their term
"Attftud~ Firing" and ext#nd
it to include a different
facet of safety, one that is
perhaps even ~Pe meaninRful?
The "Pilot Attitude" can ~enerate strong tendencies toward
either safe flying or towar~
sloppy performance.
Pilots, check you#selves
s e c r e t l y, a n d h o n e s t l y e v a l u MARCH 1967

!
ate your own Attitude Flyin~.
Do you...
Delight in breakinK some
mules?...Feel that "it can't
happen to me"?...Attempt VFR
flights in marginal weather?
...I~no#e gusty surface wdnds?
...Trust equipment not well
malntalned?...Scorn that extra
h o u r o f d u a l ? . . . Ta x l f a s t , e s pecially downwind?...Think
checklists are for beginners?
...etc.,
etc.
If you scored one or more
"affirmatives" on the above,
we hope you will quickly decide your "Attitude" should
be chan~ed, Remeraber, the
Pilot Attitude makes for
either Happy LandinFs or
A c c i d e n t R e p o r t s ! Ta k e y o ~
choice!

AT T I T U D E F LY I N G :
Modern professional flight
training experts have been
stressing techniques in recent
years to develop keen proficiency in Attitude Flying.
They teach us that keepinK
the aircraft properly positioned with respect to the
earth and surrounding air will
surely produce accurately controlled flights and s,~oth
landings.
May we borrow their term
"Attftud~ Firing" and ext#nd
it to include a different
facet of safety, one that is
perhaps even ~Pe meaninRful?
The "Pilot Attitude" can ~enerate strong tendencies toward
either safe flying or towar~
sloppy performance.
Pilots, check you#selves

Do you...
Delight in breakinK some
mules?...Feel that "it can't
happen to me"?...Attempt VFR
flights in marginal weather?

...Trust equipment not well
malntalned?...Scorn that extra
h o u r o f d u a l ? . . . Ta x l f a s t , e s pecially downwind?...Think
checklists are for beginners?
...etc.,
etc.
If you scored one or more
"affirmatives" on the above,
we hope you will quickly decide your "Attitude" should
be chan~ed, Remeraber, the
Pilot Attitude makes for
either Happy LandinFs or
