  flight safety. It must comply with the appropriate rotorcraft flight manual (RFM). Preflight should be scheduled as early as possible in the flight planning sequence, preferably during daylight hours, allowing time for maintenance assistance and correction. If a night preflight ... lens (white light) should be used to supplement lighting. Oil and hydraulic fluid levels and leaks are difficult to detect with a blue-green or red lens. Windscreens should be checked to ensure they are clean and relatively free…

  Chapter 1: Risk Management and Single-Pilot Resource Management › Defining Risk Management

  Defining Risk Management Risk is defined as the probability and possible severity of accident or loss from exposure to various hazards, including injury to people and loss of resources. [Figure 1-1] All Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) operations ... thinking about these topics, is the logical process of weighing the potential costs of risks against the possible benefits of allowing those risks to stand uncontrolled.

  Chapter 4: Assessing Risk › Using a Risk Assessment Matrix

  runways are just long enough to accommodate the aircraft. The possibility exists for a runway overrun on each landing. Given this data, an overrun could occur sometime, and the likelihood is “occasional.” Risk Severity The following terms describe the severity ... example of the marginal runway length, an overrun could cause major damage to the aircraft and possible severe injuries, or a “critical” outcome. Using a Risk Assessment Matrix Once risk likelihood and severity have been determined, the pilot…

The planning should take into consideration the possible wind conditions, arrival paths, airport information and communication procedures, available runways, recommended traffic patterns, courses of action, and preparation ... traffic pattern. This is followed by a discussion of what was done, why it was done, the consequences, other possible courses of action, and how it applies to other airports.

Flights at weights in excess of this amount are quite possible and often are well within the performance capabilities of an aircraft. This fact should not mislead the pilot…
