Introducing the SAAA Risk Radar: Your Co-Pilot for Safer Skies
Whether you’re building your first aircraft or preparing for your next flight, safety is never a one-time checklist—it’s a mindset. That’s where the SAAA Risk Radar (RRAv) comes in.

What is it?
The Risk Radar is a self-assessment tool designed to help you identify and manage risks throughout your aircraft’s life—from build to flight. It’s part of SAAA’s commitment to helping you Plan Wise – Build Well – Fly Safe.

How does it work?
You’ll answer a series of questions tailored to your project and flying experience. The tool then highlights areas of potential risk—technical, operational, or personal—so you can take action early. It’s not about passing or failing; it’s about flying smarter.
