What does Remove Before Flight mean ?
Have you ever noticed that some parked aircraft have long red ribbons, known as safety streamers, with the words REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT printed on them ?
At the end of these fabric tags, you’ll either find a small metal plug that fits directly into the pressure port to block it, or a protective cover that slips around the opening when it is larger — such as on a Pitot tube.
Many parts of an aircraft are highly sensitive and must be carefully protected or secured during short or extended periods of parking.
These iconic red tags protect aircraft sensors from dust, insects, and debris. If blocked, critical flight instruments such as the airspeed indicator may fail. That’s why one of the very first pre-flight checks is to make sure the airspeed reading is accurate before takeoff.
Jet Tag Goodies
These red tags have many design options and are commonly used in civil and military aviation. Some of them are attached to pins and are sometimes used to prevent the inadvertent firing of the seat and the embrittlement of the canopy. They are also present to keep the aerodynamic pallets open. These are circuit breakers on the weapon systems (gun, missile, bomb...).
Some of these aircraft fly tags are also attached to the landing gear. The aircraft cannot even be operated if these safety tags are left in place.
Therefore, aircraft manufacturers developed a simple and reliable solution: cover what needs protection and attach a highly visible “REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT” tag to ensure pilots notice it during pre-flight checks.
The original story of "Remove Before Flight"
Remove Before Flight is an iconic emblem in aviation, symbolizing vigilance and safety.
Originating in the 1920s, this bright red ribbon became a standard in both civilian and military aviation, ensuring that critical equipment is removed before takeoff.
During World War II, the U.S. Air Force widely adopted the Pre-flight 'Remove Before Flight' tags to mark safety devices that must be detached to prevent accidents.
By the 1960s, it was recognized internationally by organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), cementing its role in enhancing flight safety worldwide.
Today, these red warning Remove Before Flight streamers are ubiquitous on aircraft, signaling essential equipment that must be cleared to ensure the safety of both crew and passengers.
Evolution and Significance in Aviation Safety
Over the decades, Remove Before Flight banners have evolved into more than just a safety marker; it embodies a tradition of precision and preparedness in the aviation industry.
Civilian and military pilots alike rely on these alert flags to maintain rigorous safety standards, minimizing the risk of incidents caused by forgotten or improperly installed equipment.
The vibrant color and clear message of this safety indicator serve as an imperative reminder of the indispensable rigor required for pre-flight checks.
This enduring symbol underscores the aviation community’s commitment to safety, making Remove Before Flight an integral part of aviation heritage.
