Question 12

6 Concepts expanded?

Answer 12

• Task sharing – PF and PM roles / PF flies the airplane and PM tasks mainly other than flying airplane / Area of responsibility / tasks assigned according to accessibility of switch
• Crew coordination – Use of checklists / confirmed actions
• Crew communication – Poor expression, failure to hear correctly, lack of understanding / Standard response to order / Standard callouts / briefings
• Monitor and crosscheck – Scan pattern / instrument monitor during approach / speed and descent rate during approach / verification of autothrottle and autopilot / CDU operation
• Workload management – Fly the airplane / use of auto flight system
• Discipline – Professional manner / intentional deviation from SOP’s dangerous / strict discipline to SOP’s
