Q

What is Self-Assessment for pilots?

A

As a pilot in command, you are the ultimate decision maker and your choices determine the outcome of the flight. Just as you must thoroughly check your aircraft to determine if it is airworthy, you must evaluate your own fitness for flight.

Q

What is Planning and Prioritizing in aviation?

A

When flying an airplane, your tasks are not evenly distributed over time. By planning ahead and prioritizing tasks, you can prepare for high workload periods during times of low workload.

Q

What is Resource Use?

A

You must learn to recognize all the resources available to you and use them effectively.

22
Q

What are External Resources in aviation?

A

Air Traffic Controllers, Maintenance Technicians, Flight Service Briefers.

23
Q

What are Internal Resources in aviation?

A

Your Own Knowledge and Skills, Your Instructor and Other Pilots, Passengers, Aircraft Equipment, Aeronautical Charts, Pilot’s Operating Handbook, Checklists.

24
Q

What are Checklists used for?

A

Valuable resources that help you manage distractions while you perform procedures.

25
Q

What is a Do-List?

A

With a do-list, you read the checklist item and the associated action and then perform the action. Use a do-list when you have time and completing each step in the correct order is critical.

26
Q

What is a Flow Pattern?

A

A flow pattern guides you through the flight deck in a logical order, as you perform each step without the written checklist.

27
Q

What is an Emergency Checklist?

A

These are unique because many have items that you must perform immediately from memory before referring to the checklist.

28
Q

What is Situational Awareness?

A

The accurate perception of all the operational and environmental factors that affect flight safety before, during, and after the flight.

29
Q

What are Briefings in aviation?

A

An effective tool to help you maintain situational awareness by preparing you for critical phases of flight.

30
Q

What does the SAFETY Acronym stand for?

A

Safety Belts, Air Vents, Fire extinguisher, Egress and Emergency, Traffic and Talking, Your Question.

31
Q

What is a Takeoff Briefing?

A

This enables you to mentally rehearse what is about to happen during and after takeoff.

32
Q

What is included in the Takeoff Briefing Procedure?

A
  • Wind direction and velocity
  • Runway length
  • Takeoff distance
  • Initial heading
  • Initial altitude
  • Takeoff and climb speeds
  • Departure procedures
  • Emergency plan in case of an engine failure after takeoff
33
Q

What is a Before-landing Briefing?

A

Typically performed 15 to 20 miles from the destination airport, after you’ve obtained airport information.

34
Q

What is included in the Before-Landing Briefing Procedure?

A
  • Airport information and weather conditions
  • Active runway
  • Terrain and obstacles
  • Airport elevation and pattern altitude
  • Traffic pattern entry
35
Q

What are Obstacles to Maintaining Situational Awareness?

A

Fatigue, stress, and work overload can cause you to fixate on one aspect of the flight and omit others from your attention.

36
Q

What is Complacency in aviation?

A

Complacency presents another obstacle to maintaining situational awareness. When activities become routine, you can have a tendency to relax and put less effort into your performance.

37
Q

What is Controlled Flight into Terrain Awareness (CFIT)?

A

Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT) occurs when an aircraft is flown into terrain or water with no prior awareness on the part of the crew that the crash is imminent.

38
Q

What are Strategies for Preventing CFIT?

A
  • Plan your flight to avoid terrain and obstacles
  • Use current charts and procedures
  • Monitor terrain awareness and navigation displays
  • Determine your airplane’s performance
39
Q

What is Automation Management?

A

Flight deck automation has the potential to increase or decrease flight safety, depending on how well you use the equipment.

40
Q

What is Managing Workload in aviation?

A

Flight deck automation can reduce your workload and increase situational awareness.

Q

What is Mode of Operation in automation?

A

You must be able to correctly interpret your system’s annunciations and recognize when the automation is operating in a different mode than you expect.

42
Q

What are Automation Considerations?

A

Relying too heavily on automation can lead to complacency and a loss of situational awareness.

43
Q

A

Level 1 - Control the airplane manually.
Level 2 - Use the autopilot to help manage workload, but manually control the airplane at times.
Level 3 - Control the airplane primarily by the autopilot.

44
Q

What is Threat and Error Management (TEM)?

A

Training that teaches you to detect and respond to threats and errors so that a situation does not progress into an undesired aircraft state (UAS).

45
Q

What is an Undesired Aircraft State (UAS)?

A

A pilot-induced airplane position/speed deviation, misapplied flight controls, or an incorrect airplane configuration.

46
Q

What are Threats in aviation?

A

An expected or unexpected risk, or hazard that occurs outside the influence of, and is not controlled by you as the pilot.

47
Q

What are Types of Threats?

A

Airplane, Airport, Weather, Flight Environment.

48
Q
