Phil Croucher
“Never allow your ego, self-confidence, love of flying, pressure from a customer, boss or co-pilot, or
economic need to interfere with your good judgement during any stage of a flight. There is no
amount of pride, no thrill, pleasure, schedule or job that is worth your licence or your life and the
lives of your passengers. Complacency kills, and so does being a cowboy." John Bulmer
