- Keep your A&P well fed, warm, and happy, for your life is in his hands. Coffee and donuts can go a long way.
- After you pass your checkride, it's courteous to present your CFI with a gift as a token of appreciation. Depending on how difficult a student you were, this can vary from a restaurant gift card to a new Breitling.
- Being kind to the line crew will help ensure careful treatment of your plane.
- Dropping off Christmas cookies and candy for the airport staff can also get you a little extra courtesy in return.
- Be complimentary about the other guy's plane; it's probably the love of his life, even if it looks like it flew through a hailstorm en route to a crash. Remember: not everyone gets to fly a Beechcraft.
- Get to know your hangar neighbors, keep an eye out for them and their stuff. Lending a tool or a helping hand when needed will be reciprocated.
