  Chapter 2: Aeronautical Decision-Making › The Decision-Making Process › The 5 Ps Check

  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…

  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 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Aircraft Design Characteristics › Longitudinal Stability (Pitching)

  Neutral dynamic stability—once displaced, the displaced object neither decreases nor increases in amplitude. A worn automobile shock absorber exhibits this tendency. • Negative dynamic stability—over time, the motion of the displaced object increases and becomes more divergent. Stability ... quality of the aircraft’s response to the pilot’s control application when maneuvering the aircraft, regardless of its stability characteristics. Longitudinal Stability (Pitching) In designing an aircraft, a great deal of effort is spent in developing the desired degree…

  Chapter 2: Aeronautical Decision-Making › Decision-Making in a Dynamic Environment › Operational Pitfalls

  Experts appear to make provisional sense of a situation, without actually reaching a decision, by launching experience-based actions that in turn trigger creative revisions. This is a reflexive type of decision-making anchored in training and experience ... most often used in times of emergencies when there is no time to practice analytical decision-making. Naturalistic or automatic decision-making improves with training and experience, and a pilot will find himself or herself using a combination of decision…

  Refer to Figure 10-6. At the termination of the approach, if necessary, move the helicopter slowly toward the slope, being careful not to turn the tail upslope. Position the helicopter across the slope at a stabilized hover headed into ... touches the ground, hesitate momentarily in a level attitude, then apply slight lateral cyclic in the direction of the slope (frame 2). This holds the skid against the slope while the pilot continues lowering the downslope skid with the collective…
