Flight protections
FlightAssistant offers a suite of flight protections that are aimed to prevent significant damage while still maintaining high maneuverability.
As with all other features, flight protections are configurable. All flight protections can be disabled in case they are too intrusive.
Flight protections are disabled by default if the player is invulnerable (e.g. in Creative mode).
It is possible to temporarily override flight protections with a keybind (Left Alt by default)

Config screen option name: Automatically reduce thrust when terrain is detected
