  • Chapter 5: Mitigating Risk › Preflight Risk Mitigation Strategies › Mitigating Aircraft Risks

    Mitigating Aircraft Risks Introduction Risk mitigation reduces the likelihood or predicted severity of potential effects of hazards. As discussed in Chapter 4, Assessing Risk, high (red) and serious (yellow) risks should be mitigated. High risks the pilot cannot mitigate should ... lead to a no-go decision. Departing with serious risks is also an abnormal situation that calls for additional mitigation. The risk mitigation process may start days or weeks before a flight and depends on the complexity of the plan…

  • Chapter 2: Ground Operations › Risk and Resource Management › Resource Management

    Risk Mitigation Risk assessment is only part of the equation. After determining the level of risk, the pilot needs to mitigate the risk. For example, the VFR pilot flying from point A to point B (50 miles) in marginal flight ... conditions has several ways to reduce risk: 1. Wait for the weather to improve to good VFR conditions. 2. Take a pilot who is more experienced or who is certified as an instrument flight rules (IFR) pilot. 3. Delay…

    prior to and during flight) to ensure the successful outcome of the flight. SRM includes the concepts of ADM, risk management (RM), task management (TM), automation management (AM), controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) awareness, and situational awareness ... automation and associated aircraft control and navigation tasks. This enables the pilot to accurately assess and manage risk and make accurate and timely decisions. SRM is all about helping pilots learn how to gather information, analyze it, and make…

  • Chapter 6: Threat and Error Management › Causes of Errors › Insufficient Training & Experience

    Chapter 6: Threat and Error Management Introduction Threats What is an Error? Causes of Errors Insufficient Training & Experience Introduction Pilots use risk management as described in earlier chapters to analyze the likelihood and potential severity of an incident ... information pertinent to the flight. However, once a planned operation begins, a pilot may encounter unforeseen hazards or threats. In addition, a pilot may respond inappropriately to a given condition, thus making an error. This chapter provides strategies pilots…

  • Chapter 2: Ground Operations › Risk and Resource Management › Risk Assessment

    Risk Risk is the future impact of a hazard that is not controlled or eliminated. It can be viewed as future uncertainty created by the hazard. ⦁ If the weather or environmental conditions are not properly assessed, such ... properly assessed, the pilot may be placed in flight regimes that exceed the pilot’s stick-and-rudder capability. Risk Assessment Risk assessment determines the degree of risk and whether the degree of risk is worth the outcome…
