Flight safety consists of many items, some applicable on the ground, others during different phases of flight, and still others that are applicable at all times, collectively called situational awareness.

One important part of flight safety is being aware of your own capabilities and setting personal minimums with respect to visibility, crosswind, etc which may be higher than FAA mandated minimums.

Pilot judgment is another area of importance to flight safety. Judgment is often a series of evaluations made over a period of minutes, hours or even longer that keep pilots out of danger.

Flight safety also consist of knowing your aircraft performance limitations and weight and balance restrictions and fuel awareness.

Finally, regular evaluation of pilot skills and aeronautical knowledge via flight reviews is intended to offer pilots the opportunity to design a personal currency and proficiency program in consultation with a certificated flight instructor (CFI).

A wealth of resources is available on flight safety from the Federal Aviation administration:
