My very first instructor put it simply, “Don’t hit ANYTHING! Just land it on the wheels where you’re supposed to.”

LOL! My first instructor was a jerk, and I fired him. I put it on the numbers and he didn't want to taxi slowly (long runway), so he said "my aircraft" and scared the carp out of me getting back to the parking area.

My second instructor was better. We were taxi-ing out for a pre-dawn takeoff and a rabbit ran in front of the AC... So what... I kept going.

She chopped throttle and toed brakes right before we chewed up the coyote that was chasing the rabbit.

She's also the IP that gave me my first zero-gee kiss. ;)
