飞行员手册

Every takeoff is optional. Every landing is mandatory.

起飞是自愿性的，降落却强迫性的。

Always try to keep the number of landings you make equal the number of take offs you\'ve made.

经常保持降落数目与起飞数目相等。

When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No-one has ever collided with the sky.

当你觉得混乱时请保持高度，因为没有人跟天空相撞过。

The probability of survival is inversely proportional to the angle of

arrival. Large angle of arrival, small probability of survival and vice versa.

生存的机会跟着陆角度呈反比。愈大的着陆角度，愈小的生存机会，反之亦然。

There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.

要做出好的降落有三个原则。但很不幸地，没人知道是哪三个。

If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger. If you pull the stick back, they get smaller... That is, unless you keep pulling the stick all the way back, then they get bigger again.

当你把控制杆推前，房子会变大。当你把控制杆拉後 房子变小了。但当你拉着不放，

房子又会变大了。

You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick

is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

开始时你有两个袋子，运气袋装得满满的，经验袋是空的。关键在於，在运气袋变空

前，请把经验袋装满。

Good judgment comes from experience. Unfortunately, the experience usually comes from bad judgment.

好的判断来自经验。但是很不幸的，经验通常是来自坏的判断。

The three most useless things to a pilot are the altitude above you, runway behind you and a tenth of a second ago.

对於飞行员来说，最没用的三件事：在你头上的高度，在你背後的跑道，以及刚刚浪

费掉的时间。

（另一说是头上的天空，背後的跑道，和空掉的油箱。）

There are old pilots and there are bold pilots. There are, however, no old bold pilots.

世界上有老飞行员，也有勇敢的飞行员。但是并没有又老又勇敢的飞行员。

You know you\'ve landed with the wheels up if it takes full power to taxi to the elevator.

当你要油门全开才能让飞机滑行时，你就会知道刚刚降落前忘记了放下起落架。

Flying isn\'t dangerous. Crashing is what\'s dangerous.

飞行不危险，撞机才是危险的。

The ONLY time you have too much fuel is when you\'re on fire.

你唯一会嫌汽油太多的时候，就是飞机着火的时候。

A \'good\' landing is one from which you can walk away. A \'great\' landing is one after which they can use the plane again.

一个“好”的落地就是你可以安全的走出机舱。一次“极好”的落地就是这架飞机还

可以再用。

The propeller is just a big fan in front of the plane used to keep the pilot cool. When it stops, you can actually watch the pilot start sweating.

螺旋桨其实只是一个能让飞行员感到凉快的大电风扇。当它停了 你就会看到飞行员

开始冒汗了。

Helicopters can\'t fly\; they\'re just so ugly the earth repels them.

直升机是不可能飞的。但是它们实在太丑了，连地球也排斥它们，所以可以升空。
