HPL Q15 - Cockpit Management and Automation Flashcards
Which of the following statements concerning checklists is correct?
Select one:
a.The most important items should be placed at the beginning of a checklist since attention is usually focused here.
b.Most important items must be placed at the end of a checklist, allowing them to be kept near at hand so they are quickly available for any supplementary check.
c.All the items have a checklist are equally important, their sequence of isn’t is of no importance.
d.The most important items must be placed in the middle of checklists so that they come to be examined once attention is focused but before concentration starts to wane.
a.The most important items should be placed at the beginning of a checklist since attention is usually focused here.
A high degree of cockpit automation may alter the traditional tasks of the pilots in a way that
a.the crew can pay more attention to solve the problem in an abnormal situation without monitoring the automatic systems
b.Crew Coordination can be neglected on long haul flights without compromising safety
c.it is guaranteed that the crew maintains always situational awareness
d.fail
the attention of the cockpit crew will become reduced with the consequence of ‘being out of the loop’
d.fail
the attention of the cockpit crew will become reduced with the consequence of ‘being out of the loop’
The main objectives of multi-crew co-operation (MCC) are
a.Co-operation, economy and standard procedures (SOPs)
b.Safety, redundancy and workload management
c.Shared responsibility, effective communication and clear hierarchy
d.Shared workload, conformity and group think
b.Safety, redundancy and workload management
Which of the following represents a potential threat in the use of SOPs?
a.Developed habits
b.Pilot overload during periods of intense activity
c.Time consuming
d.Reduced communication between pilots
a.Developed habits
The purpose of checklists and call-outs is to
[ensure effective monitoring]
What can a pilot do to avoid automation complacency?
Select one:
a.Regard the automatic system as additional crew members that need to be cross checked as well.
b.Always fly the whole flight manually to remain in the man machine loop.
c.Always try to enhance your aviation related knowledge during low workload periods.
d.Nothing, because this system inherent.
a.Regard the automatic system as additional crew members that need to be cross checked as well.
In the context of operating complex and highly automated aircraft, the term “mode awareness” is used to describe;
a.the automation system should provide unambiguous feedback to the pilot about the mode in which it is operating, including the requirement for specific pilot input depending on the particular phase of flight
b.the pilot should maintain situational awareness regarding the appropriate automation mode required for a particular phase of flight and the opportunity for manual input to interact with the various modes.
c.the pilot should always be aware of the automation mode under which the aircraft is operating and understand the interaction between a mode of automation and a particular phase of flight or pilot input
d.the current mode in which the cockpit automation is operating should always be transparent to the pilot and that the interface allows for pilot interaction, including manual override of the automation.
c.the pilot should always be aware of the automation mode under which the aircraft is operating and understand the interaction between a mode of automation and a particular phase of flight or pilot input
As a result of automation in cockpits
a.communication and coordination call for an even greater effort on the part of the crew members
b.the need for communication between crew members has been decreased
c.it is easier for the captain to monitor the work of the first officer and vice versa
d.communication and coordination have clearly improved in human-human and human-machine relations
a.communication and coordination call for an even greater effort on the part of the crew members
One of the measures to counter the disadvantages of automation and the potential threats is to
a.revert to a lower level of automation
b.focus on one instrument at a time
c.remove pilot input and rely entirely on automation
d.assign one pilot as sole operator
a.revert to a lower level of automation
The purpose of crew briefings is to
[confirm responsibilities and procedures]
