Aviation Safety refers to the measures, protocols, and practices designed to ensure the safety of aircraft operations and the protection of passengers, crew, and cargo during flight. It encompasses a wide range of activities, including the prevention of accidents and incidents, the design and maintenance of aircraft, air traffic management, pilot training, and emergency response procedures. The goal of aviation safety is to reduce the risk of loss of life, injury, or damage to property in the aviation environment.
