  • 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…

  • Appendix A: Risk Management Training › Integrating Risk Management Training and Other Training Requirements

    Questions are posed asking the reader to conduct a risk analysis for each scenario. A solution is not provided as was done in Appendix C, and the reader may develop a risk analysis for each scenario as an exercise. Using ... opportunity to apply the concepts covered in this handbook. These appendices bridge the knowledge in this handbook, further risk management training, and the type of preparation that should occur before flight. For maximum benefit, pilots should consider taking a risk…

  • Chapter 5: Mitigating Risk › Balanced Approach to Risk Management

    Balanced Approach to Risk Management The hypothetical case study used in Chapters 3 through 5 represents a moderately complex scenario covering the flight of a general aviation aircraft on a transportation flight. It is appropriate to conduct a full risk ... management process for any flight, including the use of a FRAT. However, for less complex flights, such as a flight in the vicinity of the airport on a sunny day with no wind, the completion of a FRAT…

  • 14 CFR § 91.1017 Amending program manager's management specifications.

    Amending program manager's management specifications. (a) The Administrator may amend any management specifications issued under this subpart if— (1) The Administrator determines that safety and the public interest require the amendment of any management specifications; or (2) The program ... manager applies for the amendment of any management specifications, and the Administrator determines that safety and the public interest allows the amendment. (b) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, when the Administrator initiates an amendment…

  • 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…

  • Appendix B: Risk Management Tools › Risk Assessment Tools Identifying, Assessing, & Mitigating Risk › Risk Identification Tools

    SRM skills such as automation management, task and workload management, and situational awareness. These higher order thinking skills are crucial to operating safely in today’s aviation environment. Flight reviews, instrument proficiency checks, and other evaluation activities include the certification ... requirements for risk management. These events should use scenarios designed to address the hazards and associated risks relevant to the pilot. For example, external pressures could be simulated using a “what if” scenario that might arise for a pilot…
