I He who inspecteth not his aircraft giveth his angels cause to concern him
II Thou shalt not become airborne without first ascertaining the level of thy propellant
III Let infinite discretion govern thy movement near the ground for thy area of destruction is vast
IV Thy rotor rpm is thy staff of life. Without it thou shalt surely demolish thy bird
V Thou shalt maintain thy orientation with thy helicopter lest its nose turns and seeks to devour thee
VI Thou shalt not make a trial of thy Center of Gravity lest thou dash thy foot against a stone
VII Thou shalt not let thy confidence exceed thy ability, for broad is the way to destruction
VIII He who doeth his approach and alloweth the wind to turn behind him shall surely make restitution
IX He who alloweth his tail rotor to catch in the thorns curseth his children and his children's children
X Observe thou these parables, lest on the marrow ye be found mourning over the remnants of thy labor
