Q

Give the five traits that were discovered in pilots prone to having accidents

A
  • Disdain towards rules
  • Correlation between accidents in flying records and in driving records
  • Thrill or adventure seeking
  • Impulsive rather than methodical and disciplined
  • Disregard for or underutilization of outside sources of information

Q

This occurs when an airworthy aircraft under the complete control of the pilot is inadvertently flown into terrain, water, or an obstacle. Usually a product of poor human performance in flying

A

In the approach and landing phase of flight

22
Q

State the Risk Management Process

A
  • Identify the hazards
  • Assess the risks
  • Analyze controls
  • Make control decisions
  • Use the controls
  • Monitor Results
23
Q

What are the five hazardous attitudes?

A
  1. Anti-Authority
  2. Impulsivity
  3. Invulnerability
  4. Macho
  5. Resignation
24
Q

These contribute to poor pilot judgement but can be effectively counteracted by redirecting the hazardous attitude so that correct action can be taken

A

Hazardous attitudes

25
Q

State the PAVE checklist

A
  • Pilot in Command
  • Aircraft
    -enVironment
  • External Pressures
26
Q

State the IMSAFE checklist

A
  • Illness
  • Medication
  • Stress
  • Alcohol
  • Fatigue
  • Emotion/Eating
27
Q

State the DECIDE model

A

D - Detect
E - Estimate
C - Choose
I - Identify
D - Do
E - Evaluate

28
Q

State the ACTION model

A

A - Anticipate
C - Consider
T - Time
I - Implement Decision
O - Observe
N - Nominate

29
Q

These are traps that pilots fall into, avoidance of which is actually simple in nature. These are behavioral traps into which pilots have been known to fall

A

Operational Pitfalls

30
Q

May be based upon an emotional response to peers, rather than evaluating a situation objectively

A

Peer Pressure

31
Q

A pilot displays this through an inability to recognize and cope with changes in a given situation

A

Mindset

32
Q

This disposition impairs pilot judgement through a fixation on the original goal or destination, combined with a disregard for any alternative course of action

A

Get-there-itis

33
Q

A pilot may be tempted to make it into an airport by descending below minimums during an approach

A

Duck-under Syndrome

34
Q

This occurs when a pilot tries to maintain visual contact with the terrain at low altitudes while instrument conditions exist

A

Scud Running

35
Q

Spatial disorientation or collision with ground/ obstacles may occur when a pilot continues VFR into instrument conditions

A

Continuing VFR into IMC

36
Q

This pitfall can be caused by allowing events or the situation to control pilot actions. A constant state of surprise at what happens next may be exhibited when the pilot is doing this

A

Getting behind the aircraft

37
Q

In extreme cases, when a pilot gets behind the aircraft, a loss of positional or situational awareness may result. The pilot may not know the aircraft’s geographical location or may be unable to recognize deteriorating circumstances

A

Loss of positional or situational awareness

38
Q

Ignoring minimum fuel reserve requirements is generally the result of overconfidence, lack of flight planning, or disregarding applicable regulations.

A

Operating without adequate fuel reserves

39
Q

The duck-under syndrome can also occur during the en route portion of an IFR flight

A

Descent below the minimum en route altitude

40
Q

The assumed high performance capability of a particular aircraft may cause a mistaken belief that it can meet the demands imposed by a pilot’s overestimated flying skills

A

Flying outside the envelope

41
Q

A pilot may rely on short and long-term memory, regular flying skills, and familiar routes instead of established procedures and published checklists.

A

Neglect of flight planning, preflight inspections, and checklists

42
Q

This is the process of coordinated action among flight and ground crew members enabling effective interaction while performing flight and ground tasks

A

Crew Resource Management (CRM)

43
Q

Ability to coordinate, allocate, and monitor crew and aircraft resources

A

Mission Analysis

44
Q

Ability to clearly and accurately send and acknowledge information, instructions, commands, feedback.

A

Communication

45
Q

What is happening in the cockpit and mission? It is also the ability to demonstrate awareness of task performance and mission status

A

Situational Awareness

46
Q

Ability to alter a course of action to meet situation demands

A

Adaptability/ Flexibility

47
Q

Ability to direct and coordinate activities of crew, and stimulate them to work as a team

A

Leadership

48
Q

Willingness to actively participate and the ability to state and maintain position

A

Assertiveness

49
Q

Ability to use logical and sound judgement based on information available

A

Decision-making

50
Q
