What is remove before flight?

"Remove before flight" refers to a safety measure commonly used in aviation to prevent damage or accidents during pre-flight checks and preparations. It typically refers to a bright red tag or ribbon that is attached to various parts of an aircraft, such as covers, pins, or plugs that need to be removed before the aircraft can safely take off.

These tags serve as a visual reminder to pilots, ground crew, and maintenance personnel to remove any protective covers or devices that could interfere with the safe operation of the aircraft. Failure to remove these items before flight could result in damage to the aircraft, malfunctions, or even accidents.

The concept of "remove before flight" has become a well-known safety practice in the aviation industry, and the tags themselves have become popular as marketing tools and souvenirs for aviation enthusiasts.
