In the IMSAFE self-check, what does the 'S' stand for, and why does it matter?
- A.Speed, because hurrying improves focus
- B.Sunlight, because glare is the main physiological risk
- C.Stress, because accumulated pressure narrows attention and degrades decisions
Correct answer
C. Stress, because accumulated pressure narrows attention and degrades decisions
Why
Stress is the S in IMSAFE, and it matters because stressed pilots fixate, rush, and miss information. Recognizing a high stress load before flight is a reason to pause or postpone.
