  Chapter 8: Aeronautical Decision-Making in Flight › Single-Pilot Resource Management

  some cases, the procedures for new equipment affect the aircraft checklists. A short video on modern installations and checklist management is available here. In a single-pilot operation, pilots often gather, organize, and manage available resources before flight to make ... needed information at hand. For example, while en route to an airport the aircraft alternator fails. After completing the appropriate checklist, the alternator remains off line, and the battery will only provide electricity for a short time. The pilot decides…
