ASOG SAFETY CENTER
Safety Topic of the Month| Aviation Safety Quotes
Aviation is inherently risky. We can't eliminate all risks, but we can reduce them where we can. Aviation safety is the responsibility of every person involved in any aspect of civil aviation, from the aircraft pilot and flight crew to those who design and manufacture aircraft and its equipment, to those who oversee airport operations and air traffic control.
- Safety is our number one priority. Strive to keep the skies safe and enjoyable for all.
- Safety is the main priority, above all else. Just like you, Secure a safe flight.
- Safety doesn't just happen—it takes hard work, strategic thinking, and constant innovation.
- The most important thing about flying is safety. And the best safety device is a parachute.
- To stay safe, you should always wear your seatbelt. The risk of injury is so much higher for those who don't wear it, and that's why it's the law.
- Aviation Safety is paramount in the aviation industry. it saves lives, so do all you can to protect.
