  Chapter 3: The Learning Process › Errors › Learning from Error

  Error Recovery Given that the occasional error is inevitable, it is a worthwhile exercise to practice recovering from commonly made errors, or those that pose serious consequences. All flight learners need to learn and practice a lost procedure to ensure ... which they have lost their way. It is useful to devote the same sort of preparation to other common learner errors. Learning from Error Error can be a valuable learning resource. Learners naturally make errors, which instructors can utilize…

  Chapter 6: Threat and Error Management Introduction Threats What is an Error? Causes of Errors Insufficient Training & Experience Introduction Pilots use risk management as described in earlier chapters to analyze the likelihood and potential severity of an incident or accident ... encounter unforeseen hazards or threats. In addition, a pilot may respond inappropriately to a given condition, thus making an error. This chapter provides strategies pilots may use once flight begins. Threats Threats have the following characteristics: • Threats occur outside…

  Section 2. Barometric Altimeter Errors and Setting Procedures Procedures 7-2-1. General a. Aircraft altimeters are subject to the following errors and weather factors: 1. Instrument error. 2. Position error from aircraft static pressure systems. 3. Nonstandard atmospheric pressure ... Nonstandard temperatures. b. The standard altimeter 29.92 inches Mercury (“Hg.) setting at the higher altitudes eliminates station barometer errors, some altimeter instrument errors, and errors caused by altimeter settings derived from different geographical sources. 7-2-2. Barometric Pressure Altimeter…

  type. • Indicated airspeed (IAS)—the direct instrument reading obtained from the ASI, uncorrected for variations in atmospheric density, installation error, or instrument error. Manufacturers use this airspeed as the basis for determining aircraft performance. Takeoff, landing, and stall speeds listed ... normally vary with altitude or temperature. Figure 8-7. Airspeed indicator (ASI). Calibrated airspeed (CAS)—IAS corrected for installation error and instrument error. Although manufacturers attempt to keep airspeed errors to a minimum, it is not possible to eliminate…

  progress. External pressures from outside sources including supervisors, family, and friends may bias a pilot to make an error in an effort to complete a flight as originally planned. What does the pilot actually think about before making a decision ... priority may cause the pilot to err. 18395 An emotional response could appear spontaneously and lead to an error at any time. After an emotional shock or an important life event, the pilot may not be able to concentrate…
