  Chapter 10: Aeronautical Decision-Making and Judgment › Hazard and Risk › Hazardous Attitudes and Antidotes

  Hazard and Risk Two defining elements of ADM are hazard and risk. Hazard is a real or perceived condition, event, or circumstance that a pilot encounters. When faced with a hazard, the pilot makes an assessment of that hazard based ... upon various factors. The pilot assigns a value to the potential impact of the hazard, which qualifies the pilot’s assessment of the hazard—risk. Therefore, risk is an assessment of the single or cumulative hazard facing a pilot; however…

  mental and physical preparation for the flight. Use the DECIDE model to assist in continually evaluating each operation for hazards and analyzing risk. Paragraph A.4.8 and AC 60-22, Aeronautical Decision Making, can provide additional information on these models ... others. A.3 Hazard Identification. Hazards related to the small unmanned aircraft and its operating environment must be identified and controlled. The analysis process used to define hazards needs to consider all components of the system, based on the equipment being…

Identify the hazard(s) associated with flying over people (hazard column above). 6. If the operation will occur at night, identify hazards of flying ... night, to include those operations whose mission duration includes portions of day, twilight, and night. Such potential hazards include night vision adaptation when unlit towers and buildings are present in the area of operation. Other potential hazards include current…

  Chapter 10: Aeronautical Decision-Making and Judgment › Hazard and Risk › Assessing Risk

  After recognizing a thought as hazardous, the pilot should label it as hazardous, then state the corresponding antidote. Antidotes should be memorized for each of the hazardous attitudes so they automatically come to mind when needed. Figure ... five hazardous attitudes identified through past and contemporary study. Risk During each flight, the single pilot makes many decisions under hazardous conditions. To fly safely, the pilot needs to assess the degree of risk and determine the best course…

  Convective currents, with their rising and sinking air can adversely affect the controllability of the small unmanned aircraft. B.5 Battery Fires. Lithium-based batteries are highly flammable and capable of ignition. A battery fire could cause an in-flight emergency ... causing a LOC of the small unmanned aircraft. Lithium battery fires can be caused when a battery short-circuits, is improperly charged, is heated to extreme temperatures, is damaged as a result of a crash, is mishandled, or is simply…
