AR, FS and EP Flashcards
Why was CRM originally developed and why is it important?
Ensure that all members of the crew are trained and able to improve the effectiveness of the aircraft and achieve the mission.
To make all members of crew responsible.
What is the Risk to Life Matrix?
Combination of Hazard vs Risk
Categorised into priority.
What is Perception?
Knowledge, plus personal experience to give the way in which something is regarded, understood, or interpreted.
What is a Risk?
Risk is the assessed potential for adverse consequences resulting from a hazard.
What is the definition of Flight Safety?

What are the three types of Decision?
Rules based - Turn right to avoid a collision

What are Duty Holders?
Actively manage air safety in their area of responsibility.
Duty of care for their personnel and the general public.
Senior Duty Holder <span><strong>**</strong></span>
Operational Duty Holder <span>**</span>
Delivery Duty Holder 1/2<strong><span>*</span></strong>
What is ALARP?
As low as reasonably practictable
Further reduction to risk is grossly disproportional to cost.
What is DAEMS?
Defence Aviation Error Management System (DAEMS)
How can we fix this process?
Report
Investigate in a non-judgmental way
Decide and Respond
Review
What is a Caution?
The occurence may cause damage to the aircraft if not addressed.

What is Cognition?
Developing knowledge through thought, experience and the senses
What is ASIMS?
Air Safety Information Management System
The Air Safety Information Management System is a web based tool to support the reporting, management and analysis of air safety occurrences, investigations and recommendations.
What is MAA?

What is Heinrich’s Triangle?
The accident triangle, also known as Heinrich’s triangle, is a theory of accident prevention. It shows a relationship between serious accidents, minor accidents and near misses and proposes that if the number of minor accidents is reduced then there will be a corresponding fall in the number of serious accidents.
What is the Swiss cheese model?
Incidents are often a sequence of interlinked events. Putting barriers between these layers will reduce the chance of an incident occuring.
In the Swiss Cheese model, an organisation’s defences against failure are modelled as a series of barriers, represented as slices of the cheese. The holes in the cheese slices represent individual weaknesses in individual parts of the system, and are continually varying in size and position in all slices.
