Flight Instructor's Prayer


Author unknown


The Student is my pilot,

Him, I shall not want.

He maketh me forced landings

in rough pastures.

He leadeth me into trees

and high tension wires.

He destroys my confidence.


He leadeth me into paths of

incoming traffic.

Yea, Though I ride through

the air in the shadow

of death.

I fear all evil.


For he is with me,

His stick, His throttle and

his rudder confuse me.

He prepares stalls and

autorotations in presence

of all other planes

My temper runneth over.


Surely goodness and mercy

have followed me all

the days of my life.


And I shall be grateful if

you will spare my life

and let this YO-YO Solo !!.
