Propelled by Safety

An illustrated guide to aviation safety

The path to becoming an aviator is as vast as the skies, with rigorous demands and extraordinary opportunities. But where do you start? What knowledge, training and grit do you need to earn a seat in a helicopter, commercial or fighter jet, or even a spacecraft?

An aviator’s life is the ultimate test of character. It calls for unwavering passion, relentless discipline, and a lifelong commitment to learning – while confronting the highest risks. The rewards, however, are unmatched — in careers that soar above all others.

In “YourSafetyPilot”, Malcolm Lai offers aspiring pilots a motivating and insightful roadmap. It illuminates the physical, mental, and personal qualities needed to forge a path to becoming a respected, resilient, and trusted aerospace professional who protects the lives of hundreds in their care.

I recommend YourSafetyPilot to every dreamer who yearns to take flight.

What's it about?

Many believe that being a safe naturally comes with training. That’s partly true, but have you considered the human element of it all?

Studies show that up to 80% of aviation incidents are attributed to human factors. And no matter how hard we try, we’ll never reduce that number to zero.

This upcoming book dives into detail about the part of "being human". How can we improve as aviation professionals, knowing the limitations of being who we are? How can we truly, be safer? Can we take advantage of the variability in human performance to provide a safe outcome? Yes, we can. Learn more during our book launch by signing up for updates below.
