- 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. Figure 1-1. Types of risk. Risk management is a decision-making process designed…
- 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…
- Chapter 7: Planning Instructional Activity › Scenario-Based Training (SBT) › SBT Lesson Plan
tells the learner to plan for arrival at a specific nontowered airport. 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. In contrast to the learner who trained under the traditional…
- Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Weight and Balance › Effect of Weight on Aircraft Structure
dramatic and catastrophic, but more often they affect structural components progressively in a manner that is difficult to detect and expensive to repair. Habitual overloading tends to cause cumulative stress and damage that may not be detected during preflight inspections ... posted for the type of flights to be performed. 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…

needs to consider time of day when scheduling the flight. Time of day is a factor in traffic congestion, possible winds, sun angles, and reflection. If possible, the flight instructor needs access to a portable radio during any supervised solo…
- Chapter 3: The Learning Process › Cognitive Theory › Scenario-Based Training (SBT)
teach the underlying HOTS needed to improve ADM. The best use of scenarios draws the learner into formulating possible solutions, evaluating the possible solutions, deciding on a solution, judging the appropriateness of that decision and finally, reflecting on the mental ... process used in solving the problem. It causes the learner to consider whether the decision led to the best possible outcome and challenges the learner to consider other solutions…
