  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 can be the result of unpredicted weather conditions, a system malfunction, or poor preflight planning. In any case ... safely and efficiently divert to an alternate destination. Risk management procedures become a priority during any type of flight diversion and should be used the pilot. For example, the hazards of inadvertent VFR into IMC involve a risk that…

  really important trips, plan to leave early enough so that there would still be time to drive to the destination, if necessary. A pilot must continually make decisions about competency, condition of health, mental and emotional state, level of fatigue ... many other variables.
