106
Q

The majority of commercial aviation accidents have been caused by what?

A

Human Factors, usually relating to a breakdown in communication.

107
Q

What four principle CRM skills is SkyWest choosing to focus on?

A

Communication
Workload Management
Situational Awareness
Saturation Management

108
Q

List 3 of the 5 CRM issues that are included in nearly every SkyWest ASAP report.

A

•Unable to manage distractions
•Inability to recognize task saturation and level.
•Non-specific WANT briefings that exclude key arrival procedure elements and go-around/missed approach planning.
•Briefing excludes key components preventing crew from having a shared mental model - Especially during visual approach procedures, i.e. when to configure, or turn base, etc.
•Not holding other crewmembers accountable to the SOPM. (Passively allowing non-standard
practices which often lead to issues).

109
Q

The FOM lists 4 tools to mitigate distraction, explain two of them.

A
  • Recognize a state of becoming distracted, verbalize the concern, and request help to reduce task saturation and increase awareness.
  • Use task prioritization to determine what can be delayed for a later time during a lower workload period.
  • Use good planning during low workload periods to coordinate efficient efforts during high workload periods.
  • First Officers maintain a state of readiness to assume delegated responsibilities, as directed by the captain.
110
Q

Does the FOM require briefings to include anticipated distractions along with a plan of how to manage this threat? If so, whose responsibility is it? I wonder if your Evaluator will be listening for your plan to mitigate distractions during the LOE?

A

Yes. The captain is responsible to brief anticipated distractions. Yes, your evaluator will be putting special emphasis on your mitigation strategies.

111
Q

What is tunneling and how does it contribute to a loss of Situational awareness?

A

Under stress, a pilot may focus on a single flight deck indicator and not notice other indications also relevant to the situation.

112
Q

What CRM skill is severely diminished during tunneling?

A

Situational awareness. Vigilance and problem identification lapses and ability to detect and manage threats is reduced.

113
Q

What common error do pilots make during high workload situations in regard to personal ability?

A

Overestimate personal ability to manage the workload and level of saturation. They may not even recognize the level of saturation.

114
Q

Name 4 common cues of task saturation observed through

ASAP, LOSA, and FOQA.

A
  • Missed checklist items or entire checklists
  • Missed callouts
  • Missed configuration changes
  • Missed ATC read-backs
  • Abbreviated or omitted WANT briefings
  • Little or no communication
  • Lack of FMA correlation to intended mode
115
Q

How many of the CRM issues that are included in nearly every SkyWest ASAP report (see above) are a potential result of task saturation?

A

4 out 5.

116
Q

Name the saturation “Condition” that best describes when some errors or threats are ignored or undetected, task completion is marginal, situational awareness is compromised and flight path management is deteriorating.

A

Yellow

117
Q

What action should be employed when a pilot realizes they are “in the Yellow”?

A

Verbalize the condition. Follow the Threat and Error Application model (TEAM). Choose an appropriate level of automation, assess the criticality of the threat, and communicate a plan of action to return to a green level of saturation.

118
Q

What key component must be included in visual approach execution when the 10-7 contains E-GPWS Warning information?

A

Pilots follow the track and descent profile of an instrument approach procedure when conducting a visual approach at night.

119
Q

Can the above mentioned be joined inside the final approach fix?

A

No, join via vectors outside of the FAF/FAP or via IAF.

120
Q

OTS stands for what? What color is the information bar for OTS flights?

A

Out-of-service, Red

121
Q

If a discrepancy is written up in FItView while enroute, which airport would be selected, the departure or arrival airport?

A

Select the station where the maintenance process would be completed, in this case the destination.

122
Q

Does an entry into FIiteView eliminate the need to call in the
discrepancy?

A

Yes, so be sure the description is clear, concise, and sufficiently detailed.

123
Q

A submitted discrepancy should immediately change the A/C status to OTS. If the flight bar doesn’t turn red immediately what should you do?

A

Check your connectivity.

124
Q

If ACARS is inoperative can a weight and balance be calculated? Can this be used for departure?

A

Yes, using the FIiteView Manifest applet. This can be used for departure.

125
Q

Can the Manifest Applet be used if AeroData is unavailable or if there is no connectivity?

A

Yes.

126
Q

What additional requirement does the crew have when completing an offline manifest prior to departure?

A

Offline manifest requires a phone call to the dispatcher prior to block out.

127
Q

Where can instructions for completing a manifest using the applet be found?

A

Fliteview user guide under the EFB iPad tile.

128
Q

Can Takeoff numbers be accessed via ACARS if the A/C is OTS?

A

Yes, be careful this is not an indication that you are back in service.

129
Q

Have you ever read the Fliteview user guide?

A
130
Q

The PIC reports mechanical irregularities to maintenance how?

A

Via fliteview, no phone call required unless there is no connectivity.

131
Q

When a mechanical irregularity is discovered after block out but prior to takeoff, a flight is authorized to continue under what conditions?

A
  • Mechanical irregularity - QRH procedure appropriate for situation, not an inflight procedure. PIC will report this at the flights completion.
  • Maintenance directed reset procedure or deferral. PIC reports this immediately to MX and MX determines the action.
132
Q

When the PDC says climb via SID and the SIDs top altitude is FL230 but your filed altitude is 17,000 - what altitude do you set in the altitude alerter?

A

17.000 is the clearance limit

133
Q

What does the SOPM require crews do prior to the departure briefing with regard to the flight plan/FMS?

A

Both pilots visually cross-check the flight plan by sequencing through each waypoint on the MFD PLAN PAGE. Simultaneously both pilot verify waypoint names, sequence, speed restrictions, crossing altitudes and appropriate discontinuities through the TOD.

134
Q

Is it acceptable to accomplish the above individually?

A

No it must be accomplished simultaneously keeps both pilots accountable and confirms compliance with SOPM.

135
Q

I wonder if this will be a point of emphasis on your CQ LOE.

A

Yes, definitely, along with checklist discipline, including starting over when a checklist is interrupted.

136
Q

Does a checklist need to be started over from the beginning when interrupted?

A

Yes

137
Q

What altitude above touchdown-zone requires the AC to be in final landing configuration with the BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST COMPLETE, within +15 and -5 of Vap, as well as on lateral and vertical profiles?

A

1,000’ HAT

138
Q

Considering the above question, is it okay to continue as long as everything is done and stable by 500’ HAT?

A

No, the PM will direct a go around if any of the planned parameters are not met by announcing “UNSTABLE, GO-AROUND”.

139
Q

Review of 10-7 charts for safety alerts is an optional part of approach planning.

A

No, include in the WANT briefing a mitigation strategy for threats contributing to a high energy descent and /or unstable approach.
SOPM Stabilized approach criteria.

(Apparently a 10-7 is company airport info charts)
