  • Chapter 6: Threat and Error Management › Causes of Errors › Inadequate Flight Planning or Preparation

    Inadequate Flight Planning or Preparation Chapters 3, 4, and 5 of this handbook discuss risk analysis as an important step in the flight planning process. However, the pilot can only conduct a preflight risk analysis based on the information gathered ... before flight. Inadequate flight planning may leave a pilot in unanticipated conditions and can lead to errors. For example, a pilot dropped off a passenger at the Edward F.

  • Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Practical Flight Instructor Strategies

    flight—review or discuss flight events and choices using ADM principles. Plan a remediation if trends indicate an inadequate skill, a hazardous attitude, or inadequate knowledge of risk mitigation. Flight instructors should produce safe pilots. For that reason, instructors should…

  • Chapter 3: Identifying Hazards & Associated Risks › Leading Accident Causes

    final result of a chain of events. However, an in-depth analysis of these accidents will often reveal inadequate risk management as a common thread. To begin with, pilots should recognize hazards linked to causes of aircraft accidents as presented…

  • Chapter 16: Navigation › Filing a VFR Flight Plan

  • Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Low Altitude Engine Failure Scenarios › Landing Gear Control Selected Up, Single-Engine Climb Performance Inadequate

    Landing Gear Control Selected Up, Single-Engine Climb Performance Inadequate When operating near or above the single-engine ceiling and an engine failure is experienced shortly after lift-off, a landing needs to be accomplished on whatever essentially lies ahead ... performance capability of the airplane to do so. An accident is inevitable. Figure 13-19. Engine failure on takeoff, inadequate climb performance. Analysis of engine failures on takeoff reveals a very high success rate of off-airport engine inoperative landings…
