  Chapter 13: Effective Aeronautical Decision-Making › Situational Awareness › Operational Pitfalls

  When things are going smoothly, it is time to heighten your awareness and become more attentive to your flight activities. Advanced avionics have created a high degree of redundancy and dependability in modern aircraft systems, which can promote complacency ... complacency, which can threaten flight safety by reducing SA. Loss of SA can be caused by a minor distraction that diverts the pilot’s attention from monitoring the instruments or scanning outside the aircraft. For example, a gauge that…

  weather has significantly changed. The discussion of this forecast change can lead the pilot to reexamine his or her activities and decision-making. [Figure 2-17] Other valuable internal resources include ingenuity, aviation knowledge, and flying skill. Pilots can increase ... characteristics. When flying alone, another internal resource is verbal communication. It has been established that verbal communication reinforces an activity; touching an object while communicating further enhances the probability an activity has been accomplished. For this reason, many solo pilots…
