Principles of Risk Management
A- accept no unnecessary risk
M- make risk decisions at appropriate level
A- accept risk when benefits outweigh costs
I- integrate risk management at all levels
Risk Management Process
(IAAMIS) I- identify the hazard A- assess the risk A- analyze risk control measures M- make control decisions I- implement risk controls S- supervise and review
Likelihood of Event
(PORI) P- probable O- occasional R- remote I- improbable
Severity of Event
(CCMN) C- catastrophic C- critical M- marginal N- negligible
DECIDE
D- detect a change or hazard
E- estimate the need to counter or react to change
C- choose a desirable outcome for the flight
I- identify actions that can successfully control the change
D- do take the necessary action
E- evaluate the effect of the action
How can instructor ensure that a student has developed the ability and required skills necessary to conduct their first solo flight safely?
A student is ready for their first solo flight when the instructor observes the student from preflight to engine shutdown, and the student performs consistently safe and competent, without need for instructor assistance.
What is the instructor’s overall responsibility when it comes to endorsements and recommendations for knowledge and practical tests?
It’s a serious deficiency of performance on the instructor. FAA holds instructor accountable. It’s also a breach of faith with the student.
What is the sterile cockpit rule?
Refraining from nonessential activities during critical phases of flight.
What are the critical phases of flight?
Ground operations involving taxi, takeoff, landing, and all other operations below 10,000 ft except cruise flight.
What is the purpose of distractions during flight training?
To determine student has skills to cope with distractions while maintaining the degree of aircraft control required for safe flight.
What should pilots be aware of while dealing with distractions?
Lack of positive aircraft control and the increased risk of stall/spin.
What are some ways an instructor can incorporate distractions in training?
Drop your pen. Ask student to pick it up.
Ask student to determine heading to a random airport using a chart.
Ask student to get something from the back seat.
Ask student to compute true airspeed with E6B.
Ask student to identify terrain or objects on the ground from chart.
Ask student to identify a suitable field for forced landing.
What is ADM?
Systematic approach to mental process used by aircraft pilots to consistently determine the best course of action in response to a given set of circumstances.
What are the five hazardous attitudes?
R- resignation A- anti-authority I- impulsivity I- invulnerability M- macho
What is the antidote to “resignation” hazardous attitude?
I’m not helpless. I can make a difference.
What is the antidote to “anti-authority” hazardous attitude?
Follow the rules. They’re usually right.
What is the antidote to “impulsivity” hazardous attitude?
Not so fast. Think first.
What is the antidote to “invulnerability” hazardous attitude?
It could happen to me.
What is the antidote to “macho” hazardous attitude?
Taking chances is foolish.
Define risk management.
Decision making process designed to identify hazards systematically, assess the degree of risk, and determine the best course of action.
Define the term “single-pilot resource management”.
The art and science of managing all resources (both inside and outside the plane) available to a single pilot (prior to and during flight) to ensure the successful outcome of the flight.
