  Chapter 1: Risk Management and Single-Pilot Resource Management › Teaching Decision-Making Skills

  Engages all three learning domains. ⦁ Is interactive. ⦁ Should not promote errors. ⦁ Should promote situational awareness and opportunities for decision-making. ⦁ Requires time-pressured decisions. The flight instructor should make the situation as realistic as possible. This means the learner knows ... flight instructor should understand in advance which outcomes are positive and/or negative and give the learner the freedom to make both good and poor decisions. This does not mean that the learner should be allowed to make an unsafe decision…

  Chapter 8: Aeronautical Decision-Making in Flight › Analytical Decision-Making

  While an autopilot is engaged, a pilot’s attention should not disengage. Pilots need to maintain situational awareness and appropriate focus on the progress of the flight at all times. Balancing the use of automation with manual flying skills ... necessary in case a particular situation requires pilot intervention. Using automation proficiently and at the appropriate level reduces risk and helps prevent incidents and accidents.

  Chapter 1: Risk Management and Single-Pilot Resource Management › Aeronautical Decision-Making › The Decision-Making Process

  Decision-Making Process An understanding of the decision-making process provides learners with a foundation for developing ADM skills. Some situations, such as engine failures, require a pilot to respond immediately using established procedures with little time for detailed analysis ... Traditionally, pilots have been well trained to react to emergencies but are not as well prepared to make decisions, which require a more reflective response. Typically during a flight, the pilot has time to examine any changes that occur, gather…

  first decision point is preflight in the flight planning room, where all the information is readily available to make a sound decision, and where communication and Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services are readily available to make alternate travel plans ... second easiest point in the flight to make a critical safety decision is just prior to takeoff. Few pilots have ever had to make an “emergency takeoff.” While the point of the 5P check is to help the pilot…

  Chapter 13: Effective Aeronautical Decision-Making › Risk Management › Four Risk Elements

  that involve interactions between the four risk elements—the PIC, the aircraft, the environment, and the operation. The decision-making process involves an evaluation of each of these risk elements to achieve an accurate perception of the flight situation. [Figure ... most important decisions that a PIC must make is the go/no-go decision. Evaluating each of these risk elements can help a pilot decide whether a flight should be conducted or continued. In the following situations, the four risk elements…

  Factors Affecting Decision-Making It is important to stress to a learner that being familiar with the decision-making process does not ensure he or she has the good judgment to be a safe pilot. The ability to make effective ... decisions as PIC depends on a number of factors. Some circumstances, such as the time available to make a decision, may be beyond the pilot’s control. However, a pilot can learn to recognize those factors that can be managed…
