Aeronautical Decision Making Flashcards
What is one of the neglected items when a pilot relies on short and long term memory for repetitive tasks?
Checklists.
What is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as “Resignation”?
I am not helpless.
What is the one common factor which affects most preventable accidents?
Human error.
A local TV station has hired a remote pilot to operate their small UA to cover news stories. The remote pilot has had multiple near misses with obstacles on the ground and two small UAS accidents. What would be a solution for the news station to improve their operating safety culture?
The news station should recognize hazardous attitudes and situations and develop standard operating procedures that emphasize safety.
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 the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as “Antiauthority”?
Follow the rules.
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.
Safety is an important element for a remote pilot to consider prior to operating an unmanned aircraft system. To prevent the final “link” in the accident chain, a remote pilot must consider which methodology?
Risk Management
What antidotal phrase can help reverse the hazardous attitude of impulsivity?
Not so fast, think first.
What is the antidote when a pilot has the hazardous attitude of “Invulnerability”?
It could happen to me.
In the aeronautical decision-making (ADM) process, what is the first step in neutralizing a hazardous attitude?
Recognizing hazardous thoughts.
You have been hired as a remote pilot by a local TV news station to film breaking news with a small UA. You expressed a safety concern and the station manager has instructed you to “fly first, ask questions later.” What type of hazardous attitude does this attitude represent?
Impulsivity.
Risk management, as part of the aeronautical decision making (ADM) process, relies on which features to reduce the risks associated with each flight?
Situational awareness, problem recognition, and good judgment.
Identify the hazardous attitude or characteristic a remote pilot displays while taking risks in order to impress others?
Macho
What is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as “Macho”?
Taking chances is foolish.
