You might be a pilot if…
- you say or hear "niner" and think nothing of it
- you know it's "three six zero," not just "zero"
- information Whiskey has a special place in your heart
- "correction" has replaced "er, umm, I mean" in your everyday speech
- You know way too many acronyms (AGL, MSL, VFR, IFR, VMC, IMC, CFR,
ADM, AIM, AFM, POH, ATIS, ASOS, AWOS, CTAF, NOTAM, FSS, VOR, DME,
NDB, ILS, VASI, PAPI, REIL, HIRL, MIRL, RCLS, ATCRBS, TRSA, KIAS,
KCAS, the list goes on)
- you get in your car and think, "checklist"
- you know "kilo" is a letter, not a weight
- you can always pick out a Canadian on the radio, eh
- you no longer check normal weather websites, but rather the METAR

- "ceiling" is not just part of a building to you

- you know the call signs for many major airlines
- you've been told NOT to do math in the plane because you'll just
