Flight Risk Assessment Form
Proactively Identify and Mitigate Flight Risks Before You Depart
Take Control of Safety—Without the Paperwork
Managing flight risk shouldn’t be complicated. This free Flight Risk Assessment Form gives pilots and operators a structured way to evaluate potential hazards, assign risk levels, and document mitigation steps, all in one easy-to-use template.
Built around internationally recognized Safety Management System (SMS) principles, the form supports compliance with FAA (U.S.), EASA (Europe), Transport Canada, and other regulatory frameworks. It helps you make safer go/no-go decisions by standardizing how you track risks across three critical areas:
Pilot – Experience, qualifications, duty limits, and rest requirements.
Environment – Weather conditions, approaches, airport environment, and operational context.
Equipment – Aircraft readiness, MEL/CDL items, and special limitations.
