  • Chapter 3: Identifying Hazards & Associated Risks › Using a Flight Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT) › Numerical FRATs

    Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT) Identifying hazards and associating them with risks can be accomplished using a simple spreadsheet or form during flight planning. The form used to record each hazard is known as a Flight Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT). Numerical ... score falls into three ranges. If the total score is below a certain minimum, the FRAT indicates low risk. If it is in an intermediate range, the pilot is advised to “exercise caution.” If the score is above an upper…

  • Chapter 2: Aeronautical Decision-Making › Hazard and Risk › Assessing Risk

    research can help a pilot learn to assess risk more effectively. For example, the accident rate during night visual flight rules (VFR) decreases by nearly 50 percent once a pilot obtains 100 hours and continues to decrease until ... environment. Several risk assessment models are available to assist in the process of assessing risk. The models, all taking slightly different approaches, seek a common goal of assessing risk in an objective manner. The most basic tool is the risk…
