  • Chapter 2: Aeronautical Decision-Making › Hazard and Risk › Hazardous Attitudes and Antidotes

    Hazardous Attitudes and Antidotes Being fit to fly depends on more than just a pilot’s physical condition and recent experience. For example, attitude affects the quality of decisions. Attitude is a motivational predisposition to respond to people, situations ... events in a given manner. Studies have identified five hazardous attitudes that can interfere with the ability to make sound decisions and exercise authority properly: anti-authority, impulsivity, invulnerability, macho, and resignation. [Figure 2-4] Hazardous attitudes contribute to poor…

  • Chapter 3: Identifying Hazards & Associated Risks › Why Hazards Result in Aviation Accidents › Understanding the Risks Posed by Hazards

    hazardous attitude. Most pilots sincerely believe that they will respond to hazards appropriately and take actions necessary to avoid accidents. However, a pilot’s attitude affects perception of hazards, the analysis of the potential threat, and performance of an appropriate ... response. Since attitude influences behavior, pilots should consider their own attitude and the antidote to any hazardous attitude. [Figure 3-2] The pilots in the two fatal accidents described above exhibited several of these hazardous attitudes. If they had recognized…

    mark of discipline. Discipline also affects aeronautical decision-making. A disciplined pilot will be guarded and inoculated against hazardous attitudes and operational pitfalls, as shown in Figure 6-2. In general, a disciplined pilot will always do the right thing ... threat or error will find a path through the pilot defenses. 12269 Figure 6-2. Operational Pitfalls and Hazardous Attitudes.

Recognizing Hazardous Attitudes While the ADM process does not eliminate errors, it helps the pilot recognize errors, and in turn enables the pilot ... manage any errors to minimize their effects. In addition, two steps to improve flight safety are identifying personal attitudes hazardous to safe flight and learning behavior modification techniques. Flight instructors should be able to spot hazardous attitudes in a learner…
