The Four
Threat Levels

Know where you are. Know what to do. Act with Agency.

Threat Assessment Gauge

From Routine to Impact

Pilots constantly assess their threat level. At each stage, there is a specific response protocol. Learn these levels — they will become your instinct.

"A pilot never ignores a warning light. Neither should you. The moment you feel something is wrong — you are already at Level 2. Act accordingly."

— Capt. Robert Polakoski
