Human Performance CPL Flashcards
(50 cards)
This is the perception of the elements in the environment within a volume of time and space, the comprehension of their meaning and the projection of their status in the near future
Situational Awareness
Awareness of other aircraft, communications between air traffic control and other aircraft, weather, and terrain
Environmental awareness
Awareness of aircraft configuration and flight control system modes
Mode awareness
Awareness of geographical position and aircraft attitude
Spatial Orientation
Awareness of the aircraft systems
System Awareness
Awareness of time with respect to when required procedures or events, such as time to initial approach turn, will occur
Time Horizon
When does situational awareness tend to degrade?
- When cockpit workload is extremely HIGH
- When cockpit workload is extremely LOW (complacency)
State the CLEAROFF checklist
C - COMPASS AND HEADING INDICATOR, check if synchronized
L - LOG, accomplished
E - ENGINE & ELECTRONICS, on “green” normal
A - ALTITUDE, check
R - RADIO, set frequencies, working
O - ORIENTATION of map, properly set
F - FUEL, check for quantity
F - FIELD, incase of emergency landing ,selected
It is a systematic approach to the mental process used by airplane pilots to consistently determine the best course of action in response to a given set of circumstances
Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM)
This provides a structured, systematic approach to analyzing changes that occur during a flight and how these changes might affect the safe outcome of a flight
Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM)
State the steps for good decision making
- Identifying personal attitudes hazardous to safe flight
- Learning body modification techniques
- Learning how to recognize and cope with stress
- Developing risk assessment skills
- Using all resources
- Evaluating the effectiveness of one’s ADM skills
It’s goal is to proactively identify safety-related hazards and mitigate the associated risks. This is an important component of ADM
Risk Management
Who made the Swiss Cheese model?
James Reason
This is a real or perceived condition, event, or circumstance that a pilot encounters
Hazard
This is an assessment of the single or cumulative hazard facing a pilot.
Risk
This is the most flexible, adaptable, and valuable part of the aviation system, but it is also the most vulnerable to influences that can adversely affect its performance
Human Performance
This is used to describe an accident in which an action or decision made by the pilot was the cause or a contributing factor that led to that accident
Pilot error
The pilot’s failure to make a correct decision or take proper action
Pilot error
Give the five traits that were discovered in pilots prone to having accidents
- Disdain towards rules
- Correlation between accidents in flying records and in driving records
- Thrill or adventure seeking
- Impulsive rather than methodical and disciplined
- Disregard for or underutilization of outside sources of information
This occurs when an airworthy aircraft under the complete control of the pilot is inadvertently flown into terrain, water, or an obstacle. Usually a product of poor human performance in flying
Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT)
When do most CFIT accidents occur?
In the approach and landing phase of flight
State the Risk Management Process
- Identify the hazards
- Assess the risks
- Analyze controls
- Make control decisions
- Use the controls
- Monitor Results
What are the five hazardous attitudes?
- Anti-Authority
- Impulsivity
- Invulnerability
- Macho
- Resignation
These contribute to poor pilot judgement but can be effectively counteracted by redirecting the hazardous attitude so that correct action can be taken
Hazardous attitudes
