Personal Minimums

Personal minimums in aviation serve as critical standards beyond the FARs, ensuring pilots operate within safe parameters. Pilots should assess personal factors like experience, physical condition, and external pressures to define their operational limits. This presentation covers essential elements such as pilot proficiency, aircraft performance, environmental conditions, and handling external pressures during flights. Establishing and adhering to these minimums is vital for maintaining safety and decision-making in aviation.
