  • Chapter 10: Teaching Practical Risk Management during Flight Instruction › Notes on Instructional Risk Management in the Flight Deck › Managing Risk while Teaching Landings

    Managing Risk while Teaching Landings Many complex decisions are made during the landing phase. Novice learner pilots have little experience to rely on. Instructors sometimes fall prey to teaching landings mechanically. Instead, it is necessary to convey problems and solutions ... power, control, and configuration changes) based on what is actually happening on that specific approach. When an instructor teaches mechanically, they cause the learner to be ill-equipped to identify or manage constantly changing conditions. This teaching method may result…

  • Chapter 10: Teaching Practical Risk Management during Flight Instruction › Managing Risk during Flight Instruction › Notes on Instructional Risk Management in the Flight Deck

    Notes on Instructional Risk Management in the Flight Deck The instructor is involved with risk management on multiple levels, which include not only managing the risk of a particular phase of flight or maneuver, but also teaching risk management ... managing the risks of providing in-flight instruction. Some concepts an instructor should bear in mind while teaching most maneuvers include: ⦁ Identify relevant hazards systematically and keep track of hazards during maneuvering (the learner manipulating controls may be a significant…

  • Chapter 10: Teaching Practical Risk Management during Flight Instruction › Risk Management Training for Experienced Pilots › Risk Management during Operational Flights

    Risk Management during Operational Flights Pilots who are already certificated conduct most of their flights without an instructor present. As an instructor, you should encourage them to practice effective risk management on all their flights. Realistically, pilots will not always ... follow the risk management procedures discussed in this chapter. Instructors should encourage pilots to scale their risk management procedures to match the complexity of the flight. For example, for a local flight, it is acceptable to use an abbreviated risk…

  • Chapter 10: Teaching Practical Risk Management during Flight Instruction › Introduction

    recommendations and endorsements can be found in Appendix C, Certificates, Ratings, and Endorsements. Chapter 10: Teaching Practical Risk Management during Flight Instruction Introduction Examination of accident data leads to the inevitable conclusion that many aviation accidents involve poor risk management ... decisions. Therefore, effective risk management is one of the most important skills a pilot needs to learn, understand, and practice as a habit. Since flight instructors continually deal with risk, they quickly become subject matter experts. Instructors know to increase…

  • Chapter 10: Teaching Practical Risk Management during Flight Instruction › Poor Risk Management and Accident Causality › When to Teach Risk Management

    pilot unable to practice effective risk management on this flight? Lack of risk management training may have created an inability to cope with a difficult situation. Instructors have a role and a responsibility to help pilots obtain the necessary risk ... management training and to adopt a safety culture that embraces risk management and mitigation of risk. The instructor’s role in risk management should be incorporated at all levels of training, from a new pilot with little experience…

  • Chapter 4: Approaches › Stabilized Approach

    This process is simplified by maintaining a constant approach speed, descent rate, vertical flight path, and configuration during the final stages of an approach. This is referred to as the stabilized approach concept. A stabilized approach is essential for safe ... turbojet operations and commercial turbojet operators must establish and use procedures that result in stabilized approaches. A stabilized approach is also strongly recommended for propeller-driven airplanes and helicopters. You should limit configuration changes at low altitudes to those changes…
