Stories about volunteer pilots flying for organizations like Angel Flight (part of the Air Care Alliance) have been in the news lately. The Air Safety Foundation has published Volunteer Pilots: Recommendations for Enhanced Safety , a Safety Advisor for those pilots who provide charitable transportation to non-critically ill people who live some distance away from the treatment center. The publication recommends a set of enhanced personal minimums that will contribute to the safety of these flights, including pilot experience, VFR and IFR minimums, and pilot duty time.
