Chapter 6.8 - Exam Review Flashcards
Name four basic principles of good Airmanship?
- Flight Discipline.
- Attitude.
- Commonsense.
- Skill/Proficiency.
True or False. Self-discipline is the ability to get yourself to take the correct action regardless of your emotional state or the influence of external factors?
True.
What is ‘others complying with their own set of rules and procedures related to their specific area of expertise’?
Team Discipline.
True or False. Commonsense means using your head in terms of safety aspects, checking vitally important items before flight and ‘thinking ahead’?
True.
Intellectual skills are skills (of the brain/of the senses) and perceptual skills are skills (of the senses/of the nervous system) (2)?
- Of the Brain.
- Of the Senses.
True or False. A primary consideration in good Airmanship is the Pilot-in-Command’s knowledge of their Aircraft?
True.
A high level of knowledge of environmental factors is critical to the safe and efficient conclusion of a flight. Which of these elements is usually most important, particularly with regards to VFR flight?
The Weather.
To ensure the safe and efficient conclusion to every flight, Pilots should use (the preflight planning/the ‘I’m Safe’/both) checklist(s)?
Both.
Pilots exercising a high level of situation awareness can be shown to have (more/fewer) incidents than those who exercise lower levels?
Fewer.
List of four main elements of Situation Awareness?
- Experience and Training.
- Physical Flying Skills.
- Spatial Orientation.
- Health and Attitude.
- Cockpit Management Skills.
True or False. Physical and emotional health affects the ability of Pilots to accurately perceive and interpret their environment and the observed events occurring within it?
True.
Cockpit Management (is/is not) the use and coordination of all the skills and resources available to the Pilot-in-Command to achieve the ultimate aim of safety, efficiency and comfort for a flight?
Is.
The success of Situation Awareness in flight (depends/does not depend) on the detail and accuracy of the preflight planning?
Depends.
Error or poor-judgement chains are relatively easy to identify after the event, but (can be difficult/are also easy) to detect as they occur?
Can be difficult.
‘No one flying the Aircraft’ (is/is not) one of the ten clues that signal a loss of Situation Awareness in an error or poor judgement chain?
Is.
The part of the decision making process which relies on Situation Awareness, problem recognition and good judgement to reduce risks associated with each flight is known as (operational/risk) management?
Risk.
In Aviation, what are the four fundamental risk elements?
- Pilot-in-Command.
- Aircraft.
- Environment.
- Operation.
True or False. ‘Peer pressure’ is an operational pitfall described as ‘poor decision making based upon emotional response to peers rather than evaluating a situation objectively?
True.
‘Mind set’ is an operational pitfall described as ‘the (ability/inability) to recognise and cope with changes in the situation different from those anticipated or planned’?
Inability.
True or False. ‘Get-there-itus’ is an operational pitfall described as ‘the tendency that clouds the vision and impairs judgement by causing a fixation on the original goal or destination combined with a total disregard for any alternative course of action’?
True.
True or False. ‘Loss of Situation Awareness’ is an operation pitfall described as ‘getting behind the Aircraft which results in not knowing where you are, an inability to recognise deteriorating circumstances, and/or the misjudgement of the rate of deterioration’?
True.
TEM is based on the supposition that threats, errors and undesired Aircraft states (do not occur/may occur) on a regular basis and Pilots must manage them to maintain adequate safety margins?
May occur.
Define a Threat?
An event which was not caused by the Pilot-in-Command that can affect the flight.
What are mismanaged threats?
Threats that are linked to or induce Pilot errors.
