  Chapter 1: Risk Management and Single-Pilot Resource Management › Situational Awareness › Obstacles to Maintaining Situational Awareness

  that routine flight operations may lead to a sense of complacency, which can threaten flight safety by reducing situational awareness. By asking about positions of other aircraft in the traffic pattern, engine instrument indications, and the aircraft’s location ... relation to references on a chart, the flight instructor can determine if the learner is maintaining situational awareness. The flight instructor can also attempt to focus the learner’s attention on an imaginary problem with the communication or navigation equipment…

  conditions in which a new risk assessment should be made, a key element in the decision-making process. Situational Awareness Situational awareness is the accurate perception and understanding of all the factors and conditions within the four fundamental risk elements ... that affect safety before, during, and after the flight. Maintaining situational awareness requires an understanding of the relative significance of these factors and their future impact on the flight. When situationally aware, the pilot has an overview of the total…
