flight safety
Airborne travel security
Flight safety is the prevention of accidents and incidents in aviation.
It encompasses aircraft design standards, maintenance protocols, pilot training, air traffic control procedures, and regulatory oversight.
The field treats safety as systemic rather than individual—investigating near-misses and failures to identify patterns before they cause disasters.
The airline's flight safety record was spotless.
