Every pilot, every airplane, every flight has a set of techniques or procedures minimizing the risk of potentially life-threatening mistakes. Pilots memorize a slogan in case of an emergency and it's only three words. It sounds so simple, but it’s easy to lose priorities and situational awareness when problems come from every direction. And in the air, you can't just pull off the freeway and fix the problem. Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. It always happens in that order. This simple rule has saved countless aviators' lives because it works. Every time.
