- Engine failure (takeoff and cruise, including partial power failures and carburetor icing)
- Fuel exhaustion: the risks of running one tank dry, the high number of fuel-exhaustion accidents
- VFR into IMC: the importance of switching to flying on instruments when encountering IMC
- Electrical failure: subtle and hard-to-detect failures and suitable backup systems
