  • Chapter 10: Teaching Practical Risk Management during Flight Instruction › Poor Risk Management and Accident Causality › Mitigating Risk

    Mitigating Risk As explained in Chapter 1, risk mitigation is the “payoff” for the risk management process. Effective risk mitigation may allow for a proposed flight to begin or an ongoing flight to continue. However, this is not always ... case, and the pilot should be prepared to delay or terminate any flight. Instructors should teach that the risk management process begins days or even weeks before a specific flight. Early in the process, if a pilot identifies a risk…

  • Chapter 10: Teaching Practical Risk Management during Flight Instruction › Managing Risk during Flight Instruction › Notes on Instructional Risk Management in the Flight Deck

    Notes on Instructional Risk Management in the Flight Deck The instructor is involved with risk management on multiple levels, which include not only managing the risk of a particular phase of flight or maneuver, but also teaching risk management ... managing the risks of providing in-flight instruction. Some concepts an instructor should bear in mind while teaching most maneuvers include: ⦁ Identify relevant hazards systematically and keep track of hazards during maneuvering (the learner manipulating controls may be a significant…

  • Chapter 10: Teaching Practical Risk Management during Flight Instruction › Common Flight Instruction Risks › Pilot Risks

    Common Flight Instruction Risks The best process for analyzing flight instruction risks is to identify them as you would on any other flight, using the PAVE acronym. There may be many potential risks to conducting flight instruction. The examples below ... only meant to be representative. Instructors should always conduct a risk analysis prior to providing instruction. Pilot Risks This category involves both qualification and aeromedical risks. From a qualification perspective, instructors know that the learner will generally be less proficient…

  • 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…
