What are hazards, what is risk, and is there a difference? US coast Guard pilot Justin Moore explains the subtleties between these concepts.

Risk Management is not a fun topic to think about, and many pilots get it wrong, says US Coast Guard pilot Justin Moore. But fun or not, assessing and dealing with risk is essential in order to maintain a safety mindset before, during, and after every flight. “Safe so far does not translate into safe forever,” he says. In this Expert Insights video series, Moore encourages pilots to think of risk management in terms of four easy questions. He maintains that simplifying the task will help pilots make better go- or no-go decisions.
