Always look both ways before crossing. Make a paste with the flour before adding more water. Don’t put anything in that you might not be able to get back out. ---

Do not fold, spindle, or mutilate. Do not tease super happy fun ball. Don’t feed them after midnight. It’s a good idea to start your time at the final approach fix/outer marker on an ILS IAP in case you lose your glideslope. Even if you are below the localizer only MDA when it happens, you will still need a way to identify the MAP so you can be assured obstacle clearance when you go missed. Some ILSs don’t have a middle marker, you know. ---
