Remove Before Flight Tag

“Remove Before Flight” tags are essential safety tools, serving as critical visual reminders to ensure aircraft and spacecraft are fully prepared for operation.

Made from bright, durable nylon, these tags are attached to protective covers, safety pins, or devices that must be removed or disengaged before takeoff. They highlight critical components such as pitot tube covers, engine intake caps, and landing gear safety pins, helping prevent foreign object damage, aerodynamic interference, and system malfunctions.

First introduced in military aviation during the mid 20th century, these tags proved so effective that their use quickly spread. Standardized for consistency and reliability, they became integral to commercial aviation and spaceflight globally. 

In recent years, they have transcended their original purpose, becoming a symbol of resilience and preparedness in industries like space exploration and automotive testing. Their message of readiness and attention to detail underscores the importance of double-checking critical systems to ensure safety and precision across high-stakes environments.

Features white text embroidered on both sides of a 1x5" tag with 1" ring. If you don't have an aircraft to prep for takeoff, this tag makes a great keychain, luggage identifier, or zipper pull.
