Week 1
Welcome to Week 1 of National Safety Month 2022
This week we are focusing on information for our pilots across the country with the theme: Takeoffs are Optional.
WEEK 1 IS PROUDLY SPONSORED BY
Takeoffs are Optional
Over the past 6 months, RAAus has had a number of serious and fatal accidents which may have been avoided
through improved decision making. Most pilots will have come across the saying ‘takeoffs are optional, landings are
mandatory’ and from a number of occurrences recently reported to RAAus, this saying appears to be no more relevant
than now. Over the past 5 years environmental factors and pilot experience have been identified as likely
contributing factors in multiple fatal accidents.

Safety at Non-Towered Aerodromes
Near miss events are one of the most common occurrence types reported to RAAus with 74% of those occurring
within the circuit. CASA have recently put together a range of video resources with valuable safety information for
pilots operating at non-controlled aerodromes, including an AvSafety Accident Investigation where a panel of experts
review an accident where two aircraft collided on a runway.
