What type of flights need an RA submitted?

The requirement for submitting a Risk Assessment (RA) applies to all flights to ensure comprehensive safety protocols are followed. Each flight, whether emergency, routine, or international, poses unique risks that must be assessed to mitigate potential hazards effectively.

By requiring a Risk Assessment for every flight, it enables the identification of specific factors such as weather conditions, flight crew readiness, and equipment status that could affect safety. This holistic approach fosters a culture of continuous safety improvement, as it encourages detailed analysis and preparedness for all operational scenarios, ensuring that every flight adheres to the highest standards of safety.

Restricting this requirement to only certain types of flights could lead to oversight of potential risks in other flight categories. Thus, the practice of submitting an RA for all flights aligns with best practices in aviation safety management.
