  • Chapter 2: Aeronautical Decision-Making › RISK › Crew Resource Management (CRM) and Single-Pilot Resource Management

    Crew Resource Management (CRM) and Single-Pilot Resource Management While CRM focuses on pilots operating in crew environments, many of the concepts apply to single-pilot operations. Many CRM principles have been successfully applied to single-pilot aircraft ... development of Single-Pilot Resource Management (SRM). SRM is defined as the art and science of managing all the resources (both on-board the aircraft and from outside sources) available to a single pilot (prior to and during flight…

  • Chapter 8: Aeronautical Decision-Making in Flight › Single-Pilot Resource Management

    Single-Pilot Resource Management Single-pilot resource management (SRM) specifically refers to appropriate management of all resources available to the single pilot. SRM includes competencies such as situational awareness, communication skills, teamwork, task allocation, aeronautical decision-making, risk management, controlled ... flight into terrain (CFIT) awareness, and automation management. Resources are found both inside and outside the aircraft. Many of the concepts are similar to crew resource management (CRM). 12350 Learning to recognize these resources is an essential part…

  • Chapter 1: Introduction to Risk Management › Risk Management Analysis Using the PAVE Checklist

    prioritize safety. Varying levels of risk tolerance, or even intentional disregard of risk, may be a factor. 11784 Risk management training includes a variety of measures that change the way pilots perceive and deal with hazards both before and during ... flight. This handbook will emphasize using risk management as a process to avoid situations and decisions that might lead to an aircraft accident. Chapter Summary Poor risk management is a cause of many accidents. Accordingly, pilots should emphasize risk management…

  • Chapter 6: Threat and Error Management › Defenses Provided by the Pilot or Crew › Teamwork

    emergency results in additional assistance and priority handling. When the flight involves more than one pilot, crew resource management principles should be used. Typically, this allows one pilot focus on flight path management while the second pilot monitors the flight ... tasks. However, the pilots should communicate their reasoning, intentions, and actions to allow for discussion, agreement, and verification. Automation Management Managing automation can reduce workload and improve situational awareness if understood and used properly. Automation management will be discussed…

  • Chapter 2: Aeronautical Decision-Making › Information Management › Risk Management

    they had a paper navigation log indicating the direction of each leg. They had all the tools to manage and monitor their flight, but instead allowed the automation to fly and manage itself. The system did exactly what ... flew on a programmed course into a mountain resulting in multiple deaths. The pilots simply failed to manage the system and inherently created their own hazard. Although this hazard was self-induced, what is notable is the risk the pilots…

  • Chapter 2: Aeronautical Decision-Making › Information Management › Automation Management

    Automation Management Advanced avionics offer multiple levels of automation, from strictly manual flight to highly automated flight. No one level of automation is appropriate for all flight situations, but in order to avoid potentially dangerous distractions when flying with advanced ... avionics, the pilot must know how to manage the course deviation indicator (CDI), the navigation source, and the autopilot. It is important for a pilot to know the peculiarities of the particular automated system being used. This ensures the pilot…
