Abstract: In this article, the issue of safety from the perspective of aviation psychology has been examined. We have seen that although flying in large commercial air carriers is quite safe, the situation is not so comforting in general aviation, where the risks of involvement in a fatal aviation accident are somewhat higher than being involved in a fatal motor vehicle accident. Curiously, anecdotal evidence (from the responses of many general aviation pilots when this topic is raised at flight safety seminars) suggests that general aviation pilots are largely unaware of this differential risk and generally believe that they are safer when flying than when driving their cars. Hence, programs to improve safety often receive little more than lip service, since the pilots involved do not really feel that they are at risk.
Key words: aviation safety, aviation psychology, fatal, accident, at risk, commercial air carrier, anecdotal evidence, aviation pilot, human factor, aircraft, psychological stability.
