Recreational flight is statistically among the safest outdoor motor sports. Although every activity – even walking outside to collect your morning newspaper – carries a degree of inherent risk, flying for fun falls well within the safety margins that most people expect for recreational activity. And flying as a sport pilot eliminates several risk factors, making it potentially even safer than other general-aviation flying. Because the sport pilot’s flight activities by definition entail daylight, favorable weather, good visibility, and light aircraft capable of low-speed flight, the sport pilot can focus on FUN instead of worry.
