Q

What is the I in IMSAFE?

A

Illness - if you have Sinuses, Headaches, Earaches… not a good idea to go fly. If you increase in altitude, the sinuses will expand allowing fluid to fill in. If you decrease in altitude, the sinuses will close back up and the fluids will be painfully pushed back out.

Q

What is the M in IMSAFE?

A

Medication - medications can cause drowsiness and effects a pilots judgement, to avoid these effects in flight you may contact your personal AME (Aviation Medical Examiner) or search on the FAA website. You can do the 5x rule (If each dose for example needs to be given every 6hrs, you can times it by 5 which equals waiting 30hrs before you go fly.

Takeoff Briefing (Cessna 172S)
“If we lose our engine on take off roll we go power idle and apply brakes if needed and take the first safe taxiway, if we lose our engine right after take off and we still have runway left we land back on the runway, if we lose our engine below TPA (Traffic Pattern Altitude, 1,500 in KBFL) we establish best gliding speed and land 30 degrees of the nose, if we lose our engine above TPA we establish best gliding speed and then land on the opposing runway or anywhere else that is safe.”
