The purpose of this project is to better understand where mistakes most frequently occur and to provide practical strategies for addressing them. The research draws from FAA and NTSB reports, aviation safety literature, and insights gathered through interviews with Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs). Each chapter focuses on a specific phase of flight—from pre-flight planning to landing—and highlights key challenges, case examples, and instructional guidance. The final product is designed to function as both a reference guide and a learning tool for student pilots, offering clear explanations, checklists, and best practices. Ultimately, this thesis aims to support safer, more effective flight training by helping new pilots build strong foundational habits and situational awareness.
