Prepare Before You Need Them
You can read about an aviation emergency, understand the lesson, and still find yourself struggling to recall the priorities when something unexpected happens.
An engine starts running rough. An electrical smell fills the cockpit. The weather ahead looks worse than forecast. Suddenly, a routine flight demands a decision—and your workload is rising.
Pilot Emergency Decision Cards from MyStudentPilot.com give you a practical way to review those situations before you face them.
These physical laminated cards bring important preparation topics into a format you can revisit during flight planning, ground study, or a discussion with your instructor. Keep them with your aviation study materials or flight bag as a reminder to prepare, recognize developing problems, and think through your options.
Choose the set that fits your preparation—or get all three.
In-Flight Emergencies — 16 Cards
Reinforce your review of critical airborne situations. Use these cards to revisit emergency priorities, discuss aircraft-specific procedures with your instructor, and identify areas where you need more practice.
Crash Survival - 16 Cards
The first 24 hours after a crash in a remote area is critical for survival. Know how to SURVIVE. Your preparation should extend beyond the emergency landing. Review survival considerations and think ahead about the equipment, resources, and decisions you may need after an accident.
Decision Making & Risk Reduction - 14 Cards
Some of the most valuable safety decisions happen before an emergency develops. Review Go/No-Go choices, personal limits, changing conditions, and the pressure to continue when a safer option is available.
Make Preparation Part of Your Flying Routine
Before your next flight, choose a relevant card and ask yourself:
- What warning signs would I notice?
- What does my aircraft’s POH require?
- What options would I have?
- At what point would I change my plan or ask for help?
That review can lead to better questions, more focused training, and a clearer understanding of your own limits.
Whether you are learning to fly, returning after time away, or keeping your knowledge fresh, these cards offer a convenient way to keep safety preparation in your routine.
