  • Chapter 2: Aeronautical Decision-Making › The Decision-Making Process › The Passengers

    Passengers can also be pilots. If no one is designated as pilot in command (PIC) and unplanned circumstances arise, the decision-making styles of several self-confident pilots may come into conflict. Pilots also need to understand that ... risk elimination. While a pilot may feel comfortable with the risk present in a night IFR flight, the passengers may not. A pilot employing SRM should ensure the passengers are involved in the decision-making and given tasks…

  • Chapter 14: Airport Operations

    general aviation airports, as shown below: • Commercial Service Airports—publicly owned airports that have at least 2,500 passenger boardings each calendar year and receive scheduled passenger service. Passenger boardings refer to revenue passenger boardings ... aircraft in service in air commerce whether or not in scheduled service. The definition also includes passengers who continue on an aircraft in international flight that stops at an airport in any of the 50 States…

    Passengers should be briefed and understand the proper use of seatbelts, doors, and headsets/intercom system. 2. The safe entry and exit paths (away from the tail rotor and within the pilot’s view). 3. If possible, remove front passenger flight controls and ensure all passenger personal items, such as cameras and mobile phones are secure. 4. For over water flights, the location and use of flotation gear and other survival equipment that are onboard. Pilot instructions should…

    same time, there is some risk that lighter workloads could lead to complacency. Humans are characteristically poor monitors of automated systems. When asked to passively monitor an automated system for faults, abnormalities, or other infrequent events, humans perform poorly ... more reliable the system, the poorer the human performance. For example, the pilot only monitors a backup alert system, rather than the situation that the alert system is designed to safeguard. It is a paradox of automation that technically advanced…

  • Chapter 1: Risk Management and Single-Pilot Resource Management › SRM and the 5P Check › The Passengers

    Passengers One of the key differences between CRM and SRM may include the way passengers interact with the pilot. The pilot of a single-pilot aircraft may often interact with the passengers. In fact, the pilot ... passengers may sit within arm’s reach. The desire of the passengers to make airline connections or important business meetings enters easily into this pilot’s decision-making loop. Done in a healthy and open way, this…

Several studies of crew performance, incidents, and accidents have identified inadequate monitoring ... cross-checking as vulnerabilities for aviation safety. Effective monitoring and cross-checking can be the last barrier or line of defense against accidents because detecting an error or unsafe situation may break the chain of events leading to an accident…
