Exchange of Terms
A common saying, modified for aviation:
“Better to open your mouth and appear stupid, than demonstrate without a doubt that you are.”
Those of you in aviation will appreciate the irony of the reversal of the old saying: “Better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you are stupid, than open it an demonstrate you are.”, and how well this adaption suits both training and aviation industries, and possibly many others.
Another one that springs to mind from that is, “There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.”

That’s why I always ask questions to proficient instructors when I have doubts concerning any matter. Herewith I managed to improve my flight proficiency along the years. And there is something I´m really sur: I don’t know everything !!!
What a great blog for people who love aviation!!! Congratulations!!!

Thanks Duarte, we try to make it fun and educational.
I really like how you say “always ask questions to proficient instructors - to improve my flight proficiency”. So true, and so nice to see a good attitude.
You have some very nice pictures on your site, flying in Portugal looks like lots of fun.
If you ever want to write about your adventures in English, send me an email, I’d be happy to edit and post here.
