Survival Safety
Of the millions of GA flights every year, only a few end with unplanned off-airport landings. Even though the odds of a crash are slim, the potential consequences are harsh—which is why smart pilots prepare and take basic precautions. In this Safety Center you’ll learn the importance of briefing your passengers before each flight to help prepare them for an emergency situation, essential ingredients of a good survival kit, simple but effective ways to help searchers find you, the first steps you should take after a crash, and survival strategies while awaiting rescue.
