6.6: Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) Flashcards
One purpose of crew resource management (CRM) is to give crews tools to
recognize and mitigate hazards.
The most important key to risk management is
management of external pressures.
What antidotal phrase can help reverse the hazardous attitude of impulsivity?
Not so fast, think first.
What is the one common factor which affects most preventable accidents?
Human error.
Who is responsible for determining whether a pilot is fit to fly for a particular flight, even though he or she holds a current medical certificate?
The pilot.
What is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as “Resignation”?
I am not helpless.
What is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as “Macho”?
Taking chances is foolish.
What is the antidote when a pilot has the hazardous attitude of “Invulnerability”?
It could happen to me.
What is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as “Impulsivity”?
Not so fast, think first.
What is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as “Antiauthority”?
Follow the rules.
In the aeronautical decision making (ADM) process, what is the first step in neutralizing a hazardous attitude?
Recognizing hazardous thoughts.
Hazardous attitudes occur to every pilot to some degree at some time. What are some of these hazardous attitudes?
Antiauthority, impulsivity, macho, resignation, and invulnerability.
What is one of the neglected items when a pilot relies on short and long term memory for repetitive tasks?
Checklists.
What often leads to spatial disorientation or collision with ground/obstacles when flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR)?
Continual flight into instrument conditions.
What is it often called when a pilot pushes his or her capabilities and the aircraft’s limits by trying to maintain visual contact with the terrain in low visibility and ceiling?
Scud running.
