16: TEN GOLDEN RULES FOR AVIATION SAFETY

1. Aircraft fly as per laws of physics.

2. Aircraft are not aware of seniority, skill level or qualifications of the aircrew.

3. Superior skill and judgment should be used to avoid potentially unsafe situations rather than to get out of them.

4. Always respect elements of weather and terrain.

5. Strictly follow SOP, orders and instructions.
“Do what is documented and document what you do”.

6. Comprehensive briefing and debriefing is intrinsic part of any flying activity.

7. Aviation is no place for shortcuts, complacency or unnecessary risk taking.

8. If in doubt – “abort” is better option than “press on”.
Fly another day / time.

9. 3Rs Rule – Right person, Right equipment and Right procedure for all aviation related activity.

10. Extra caution / care is required for legacy aircraft and equipment.
