Risk Management Flashcards
Describe the risk assessment matrix
Severity: Negligable, Marginal, Critical, Catastrophic
Liklihood: Improbable, Remote, Occasional, Probable
Risk: Low, Medium, Serious, High
How can a pilot assess their personal fitness to fly?
IMSAFE
Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatique, Emotion
What are the Hazardous Attitudes?
Resignation - “What’s the use?”
Anti-Authority - “Don’t tell me!”
Impulsivity - “Do it quickly”
Invulnerability - “It won’t happen to me”
Macho - “I can do it”
(RAIIM)
What is the antidote for Resignation?
I am not helpless. I can make a difference.
What is the antidote for Macho?
Taking chances is foolish.
What is the antidote for impulsivity?
Not so fast. Think first.
What is the antidote for invulnerability?
It could happen to me.
What is the antidote for anti-authority?
Follow the rules, they are usually right.
What are the types of stress that can affect pilot performance?
Physical
Physchological
Physiological
What model can a pilot use to Percieve hazards to a flight?
PAVE
Pilot, Airplane, enVironment, External pressures
What are the steps to managing risk?
- Identify the hazard
- Assess the risk
- Mitigate the risk
What are the principles of risk management?
- Accept no unnecessary risk
- Only accept a risk if the benefits outweigh the costs
- Make risk decisions at the appropriate level
- Integrate risk management into planning at every level
What are the options for what to do about an identified risk?
TEAM
Transfer, Eliminate, Accept, Mitigate
What is a FRAT
Flight Risk Assessment Tool
What is the pilot’s risk management model in ADM?
3-P
Percieve, Process, Perform
What is situational awareness?
Accurate perception and understanding of all the factors that affect safety of before, during and after the flight.
What are some impediments to situational awareness?
Distractions, Fatigue, Complacency
What are some signs of fatigue?
Persistent yawning, head bobbing, eyes going in and out of focus, wandering thoughts, missed or erroneous performance of routines, degraded control accuracy.
What are some common risk management traps and failures in flight operations?
- Scud-running
- Duck-under
- Flying outside the envelope
- Peer pressure
- Get-there-itis
- Loss of situational awareness
- Getting behind the aircraft
- Continued VFR into IMC
- Operating without adequate fuel reserves
What is a tool for risk management during flight
5-Ps
Plane, Pilot, Passenger, Plan, Programming
What is SRM?
Single-pilot Resource Management
Making good use of all the resources available to the single-pilot to ensure a successful outcome.
What is ADM?
Aeronautical Decision Making
The Systematic approach to the mental process of evaluating a given set of circumstances and determining the best course of action
How can the single pilot keep a current assessment of inflight hazards.
5 Ps
Plane, Pilot, Passengers, Plan, Programming
What are some of the resources available to the single pilot?
ATC, Flight Service
Autopilot, Flight Director
EFB, Moving Map, etc
Front-seat passenger
What are some key SRM challenges and how do you handle them?
Task Saturation - Task Management: prioritize Aviate, Navigate, Communicate
Automation Confusion - Automation Management: downgrade the level of automation in use. Scenario Based Training, Simulator practice
Information Overload - Scenario Based Training, Simulator practice
How and when should risk management be taught in flight training?
What model can pilots use to Process risks to a flight?
(CARE)
Consquences
Alternatives
Reality
External Pressures
What is the definition of a pilot error?
An action or inaction that leads to a deviation from intentions and expectations.
