In the IMSAFE fitness checklist, what does the final E stand for?

Emotion: Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue, Emotion.

  1. Equipment
  2. Emotion ✔
  3. Environment

Why: IMSAFE is a quick self-check before every flight. The last item asks if you're emotionally upset, since anger or grief can wreck judgment.

Huh, didn't know that: Stress isn't on the list of medical conditions that ground you, but the FAA says to consider its effects anyway.

The dad joke
Why don't eggs tell jokes before a flight? They'd crack each other up.
