HPL Q12 - Human Error & Reliability Flashcards
Which factors may negatively impact an individual’s decision making process?
a.Loss of situational awareness, workload, adaptability
b.Over-confidence, confirmation bias, innovation
c.Fatigue, workload, over-confidence
d.Peer pressure, too much sleep, shortness of time
c.Fatigue, workload, over-confidence
The definition of decision making is:
a.where the group performance exceeds the sum of the individual performances
b.a voluntary and conscious process of selection from among possible solutions for a given problem
c.the state whereby the crew are aware of the real situation both inside and outside the aircraft and alert to their own performance state
d.A type of non-verbal communication in which physical behaviour, as opposed to words, are used to express or convey information
b.a voluntary and conscious process of selection from among possible solutions for a given problem
A commander believes that the co-pilot has made a radio call, but, it will not be made for another 5 minutes due to poor prioritisation. The Commander doesn’t ask for the co-pilot to confirm that he made the call. Which option best describes the Commander’s situation?
a.Stress
b.Confirmation bias
c.A false mental model
d.An action slip
c.A false mental model
An unnoticed waypoint error is an example of
[ ].
[latent error]
An individual assesses risk primarily based on [ ] and [ ].
[personal perception] [situation evaluation]
A pilot sitting below the eye datum point will normally be unable to see the [ ].
[undershoot]
Whilst in VMC en-route to the destination airfield in mountainous terrain, an instrument fails. The pilot decides to continue the flight. When nearing the destination airfield, the weather deteriorates to IMC conditions. The pilot continues with the flight and crashes into a mountain. What type of error is this?
a.Design error
b.Action slip
c.Lapse error
d.Error chain
d.Error chain
Decision-making results in:
Select one:
-a choice always based on the experience of the Pilot in Command
-a choice between different options to achieve a goal
-a subjective choice between options to achieve a goal
-a totally objective choice between options to achieve a goal proposed by the Pilot in Command
-a choice between different options to achieve a goal
What is meant by risky shift?
Select one:
a.The process by which the working memory will offload information to the long-term memory during a high stress situation.
b.The tendency of a group accepting a higher degree of risk than any individual in the group.
c.A flight or task undertaken at a time when the circadian rhythms are at their lowest level.
d.The process by which the central decision maker will ignore any information which does not fit the mental model created to explain phenomena.
b.The tendency of a group accepting a higher degree of risk than any individual in the group.
Which of the following form part of the 9 steps in decision making?
a.Definition of the aim, decision, ergonomics
b.high workload, risk assessment, consequences
c.Development of options, confirmation bias, implementation
d.Risk assessment, evaluation of options, review and feedback
d.Risk assessment, evaluation of options, review and feedback
