ADM / CRM / SRM / Risk Management Flashcards
Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) is a
a) Systematic approach to the mental process used by pilots to consistently determine the best course of action for a given set of circumstances.
b) Decision making process which relies on good judgment to reduce risks associated with each flight.
c) Mental process of analyzing all information in a particular situation and making a timely decision on what action to take.
A) Systematic approach to the mental process used by pilots to consistently determine the best course of action for a given set of circumstances.
“A systematic approach to the mental process used by all involved in aviation to consistently determine the best course of action in response to a given set of circumstances.” This verbiage defines
a) Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM).
b) Situational Awareness (SA).
c) Risk Mitigation.
A) Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM).
Aeronautical decision making (ADM) provides a
a) Mental process of analyzing all available information in a particular situation, making a timely decision on what action to take, and when to take the action.
b) Structured, systematic approach to analyzing changes that occur during a flight and how these changes might affect a flight’s safe outcome.
c) Decision making process which relies on good judgment to reduce risks associated with each flight.
B) Structured, systematic approach to analyzing changes that occur during a flight and how these changes might affect a flight’s safe outcome.
The Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process identifies the steps involved in good decision making. One of these steps includes a pilot
a) Making a rational evaluation of the required actions.
b) Developing the “right stuff” attitude.
c) Identifying personal attitudes hazardous to safe flight.
C) Identifying personal attitudes hazardous to safe flight.
The ADM process identifies steps for good decision making; some of which are
a) Learning behavior modification techniques and using all resources.
b) Identifying personal attitudes hazardous to safe flight and developing risk assessment skills.
c) All are correct.
C) All are correct.
Risk management is an important component of ADM.
a) True.
b) False.
A) True.
Risk management has nothing to do with aeronautical decision making.
a) True.
b) False.
B) False.
What is single pilot resource management (SRM)?
a) It is the art and science of managing all the resources both onboard the aircraft and from outside sources available to a single pilot (prior and during flight) to ensure the successful outcome of the flight.
b) It is the art and science of managing all the resources during preflight to ensure the successful outcome of the flight.
c) It is the art and science of managing all the resources onboard the aircraft to ensure the successful outcome of the flight.
A) It is the art and science of managing all the resources both onboard the aircraft and from outside sources available to a single pilot (prior and during flight) to ensure the successful outcome of the flight.
Single pilot resource management (SRM) includes the concepts of:
a) Task management and automation management.
b) Aeronautical decision making and situational awareness.
c) All are correct.

Single Pilot Resource Management (SRM) available resources can include
a) Human resources, hardware, and information.
b) Hazardous attitude antidotes and CFIT training.

A) Human resources, hardware, and information.
Two defining elements of ADM are
a) Hazardous attitudes and their associated antidotes.
b) Go and no-go decision making processes.
c) Hazard and risk.
C) Hazard and risk.
A hazard (in reference to ADM) is defined as
a) A real or perceived present condition, event, object, or circumstance that could lead to or contribute to an unplanned or undesired event such as an accident.
b) The future impact of a hazard that is not controlled or eliminated.
c) The result of a poor decision making process.
A) A real or perceived present condition, event, object, or circumstance that could lead to or contribute to an unplanned or undesired event such as an accident.
Risk (in reference to ADM) is defined as
a) A real or perceived present condition, event, object, or circumstance that could lead to or contribute to an unplanned or undesired event such as an accident.
b) The future impact of a hazard that is not controlled or eliminated.
c) The result of a poor decision making process.
B) The future impact of a hazard that is not controlled or eliminated.
A pilot notices a nick in the leading edge of a tail rotor blade. Since the aircraft is parked outside on an airport ramp, the nick may have been caused by another aircraft’s downwash blowing debris into the blade. In this example, the hazard is
a) The nick.
b) Possible tail rotor blade failure.
c) The downwash that caused the nick.
A) The nick.

In this example, the risk is
a) The nick.
b) Possible tail rotor blade failure.
c) The downwash that caused the nick.
B) Possible tail rotor blade failure.
Elements or factors affecting individuals are different and profoundly impact decision making regarding perceptions of hazard and risk. These elements/factors are referred to as
a) Hazardous attitudes.
b) Risk factors.
c) Human factors.
C) Human factors.
A motivational predisposition to respond to people, situations, or events in a given manner; this defines
a) Attitude.
b) Decision making.
c) Risk mitigation.
A) Attitude.
What are some of the hazardous attitudes dealt with in Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM)?
a) Anti-authority (don’t tell me), impulsivity (do something quickly without thinking), macho (I can do it).
b) Risk management, stress management, and risk elements.
c) Poor decision making, situational awareness, and judgment.
A) Anti-authority (don’t tell me), impulsivity (do something quickly without thinking), macho (I can do it).
Name some hazardous attitudes that can affect your judgment during the aeronautical decision making (ADM) process.
a) Antiauthority, impulsivity, and resignation.
b) Impulsivity, antiestablishment, and reevaluation.
c) Peer pressure and stress levels.

Hazardous attitudes occur to every pilot to some degree at some time. What are some of these hazardous attitudes?
a) Antiauthority, impulsivity, macho, resignation, and invulnerability.
b) Poor situational awareness, snap judgments, and lack of a decision making process.
c) Poor risk management and lack of stress management.
A) Antiauthority, impulsivity, macho, resignation, and invulnerability.

a) Resigned attitude.
b) Macho attitude.

Hazardous attitudes which contribute to poor pilot judgment can be effectively counteracted by
a) Early recognition of hazardous thoughts.
b) Taking meaningful steps to be more assertive with attitudes.
