  • 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…

  • Chapter 8: Aeronautical Decision-Making in Flight › Single-Pilot Resource Management

    Single-Pilot Resource Management Single-pilot resource management (SRM) specifically refers to appropriate management of all resources available to the single pilot. SRM includes competencies such as situational awareness, communication skills, teamwork, task allocation, aeronautical decision-making, risk management, controlled ... flight into terrain (CFIT) awareness, and automation management. Resources are found both inside and outside the aircraft. Many of the concepts are similar to crew resource management (CRM). 12350 Learning to recognize these resources is an essential part…

  • Chapter 7: Aircraft Systems › Oxygen Systems

    fixed installation, portable oxygen equipment must be readily accessible during flight. The portable equipment usually consists of a container, regulator, mask outlet, and pressure gauge. Aircraft oxygen is usually stored in high pressure system containers ... oxygen cylinder decreases, pressure within that cylinder decreases because pressure varies directly with temperature if the volume of a gas remains constant. A drop in the indicated pressure of a supplemental oxygen cylinder may be due to the container being…

  • Chapter 1: Introduction to Risk Management › Risk Management Analysis Using the PAVE Checklist

    pump failed and the pilot’s failure to maintain airplane control during approach. The NTSB report, available here, also contains information about this pilot’s decision-making and risk management. Many incidents and accidents occur as a result of poor ... risk management. The following accident review illustrates the importance of risk-based decision-making, as a means to prevent a negative outcome. Risk Management Analysis Using the PAVE Checklist The accident described above contains risk factors included in the PAVE…

  • Chapter 6: Threat and Error Management › Defenses Provided by the Pilot or Crew › Teamwork

    emergency results in additional assistance and priority handling. When the flight involves more than one pilot, crew resource management principles should be used. Typically, this allows one pilot focus on flight path management while the second pilot monitors the flight ... tasks. However, the pilots should communicate their reasoning, intentions, and actions to allow for discussion, agreement, and verification. Automation Management Managing automation can reduce workload and improve situational awareness if understood and used properly. Automation management will be discussed…

  • Chapter 1: Risk Management and Single-Pilot Resource Management › Single-Pilot Resource Management (SRM)

    Single-Pilot Resource Management (SRM) Single pilot resource management (SRM) is defined as the art and science of managing all the resources (both onboard the aircraft and from outside sources) available to a single pilot (prior to and during flight ... ensure the successful outcome of the flight. SRM includes the concepts of Aeronautical Decision-Making (ADM), Risk Management (RM), Task Management (TM), Automation Management (AM), Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) Awareness, and Situational Awareness (SA). SRM training helps the pilot…
