Captain Lim Khoy Hing is an ex-airline pilot who is passionate about flying, having worked all his life high above the clouds since leaving college.

Quotes by Lim Khoy Hing  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“There's a joke in the aviation industry that the ideal aircrew in today's modern aircraft would be comprised of a man and a dog. The dog is there to bite the man if he so much as tries to touch the controls, and the pilot's one remaining job is to feed the dog!”

“The other pilot may have been trying to be heroic but each time we pilots sign in to fly an aircraft we are duty-bound, morally and professionally, to operate the airplane as safely as possible. In all honesty, I'd rather be a coward than a dead hero.”

“While I was flying, I always encouraged my first officers to speak up if they had any questions or to query anything they were uncomfortable with. Pride and ego have no place in the cockpit and this is indoctrined into the flight crew constantly.”
