Who is responsible for determining whether a pilot is fit to fly for a 
particular flight, even though he or she holds a current medical 
certificate? 





   ANSWER: The pilot. 

   A number of factors, from lack of 
   sleep to an illness, can reduce a pilot's fitness to make a 
   particular flight. It is the responsibility of the pilot to 
   determine whether (s)he is fit to make a particular flight, even 
   though (s)he holds a current medical certificate. 
   Additionally, FAR 61.53 prohibits a pilot who possesses a 
   current medical certificate from acting as pilot in command, 
   or in any other capacity as a required pilot flight 
   crewmember, while the pilot has a known medical condition 
   or an aggravation of a known medical condition that would 
   make the pilot unable to meet the standards for a medical 
   certificate. 

What is the one common factor which affects most preventable 
accidents? 





   ANSWER: Human error. 

   Most preventable accidents, such as 
   fuel starvation or exhaustion, VFR flight into IFR conditions 
   leading to disorientation, and flight into known icing, have 
   one common factor: human error. Pilots who are involved in 
   accidents usually know what went wrong. In the interest of 
   expediency, cost savings, or other often irrelevant factors, 
   the wrong course of action (decision) was chosen.
