Engine Cut Before the Pits

This one is simple.

Before your plane enters the pit area — cut the engine.

No taxiing through the pits. No slow “it’ll be fine.” No easing through between tables.

Propellers don’t care how careful you think you are.

Taxiing in the pits introduces spinning blades, unexpected throttle bumps, and distracted pilots carrying gear. All it takes is one slip of a switch or one stumble.

Kill the engine. Carry the airplane.

It takes five extra seconds.

It prevents five thousand dollars’ worth of problems.

And possibly a trip to the emergency room.

Easy rule. Zero drama.
