training includes airmanship skills, pilot judgment and decision-making, and good operating practices. A pilot training program depends on the quality of the ground and flight instruction the student pilot receives. The flight instructor must possess a thorough understanding ... student pilot. Use of a structured training program and formal course syllabus is crucial for effective and comprehensive flight training. It should be clear to the student in advance of every lesson what the course of training will involve…

Defenses against Threats, Errors, and Undesired Aircraft States When a pilot perceives a flight condition that requires attention, the pilot may know what to do immediately or may need time to process alternatives. The pilot may utilize several different strategies ... manage risk while in the air. Defenses Provided to the Pilot or Crew A manufacturer, employer, or a flight school may provide defenses to pilots. Examples include checklists, operating limitations, minimum pilot qualifications, standard operating procedures, and insurance requirements. Regardless…
- Chapter 3: Identifying Hazards & Associated Risks › Using the PAVE Checklist to Identify Hazards › Pilot Hazards
Using the PAVE Checklist to Identify Hazards As described in Chapter 1, the PAVE checklist provides a means to identify hazards using four convenient hazard “buckets.” Using all four checklist categories before a flight captures most hazards normally encountered. This ... follows: 1. Qualification–Does the pilot possess the appropriate pilot certificate, category, class, and type rating needed to operate a specific aircraft under the given set of conditions? Some accidents have occurred when pilots have attempted to operate under…

Cancel the Flight Canceling a flight is necessary if the pilot cannot mitigate risk sufficiently by other means. The cancellation option is easier if another means of transportation is available or if long-term rescheduling is an option. Mitigating External ... others waiting for the arrival, it is best to inform them of the need for flexibility. Local Versus Transportation Flights A local pleasure flight can still be subject to external pressures, but it is easier to cancel than a scheduled…
