## Appendix A 

## Personal Assessment and Minimums 

Each pilot should establish personal weather minimums, which may be (and often are) above FAA legal minimums for a VFR or IFR flight. Airlines and corporate flight departments set individual minimums above FAA weather minimums where pilot experience is limited. They also have operational minimums that apply when the aircraft has less than full operation of all systems for dealing with weather. Similarly, pilot personal minimums should be based on a clear assessment of pilot certification, experience, proficiency, and currency. 

The assessment form below should be used to evaluate personal experience and qualifications. When the pilot obtains a new rating or upgrades a certificate, or when current experience level changes, the self-assessment factors should be reviewed (at least annually). If appropriate, revisions would then be made to the personal minimums. A copy of the appropriate personal minimums checklist should be carried with the pilot when making important risk management decisions.
