In Command Flashcards
(76 cards)
There is one and only one member of the crew. Who holds all responsibility for the flight alone.
PIC Pg.13
What is the responsibility and authority of the PIC
A. The pilot in Command of an aircraft is directly responsible for and has authority of the operation of the aircraft.
B. In an inflight emergency requiring immediate action. The PIC may deviate from any rule of this part to the extent required to meet that emergency.
C. Each PIC who deviates from a rule under paragraph (b) of this section, shall on request of the Administrator, send written report of that deviation to the Administrator.
CRM likely is an acronym for what
Crew Resource Managment pg 16
After first solo flight a PIC’s experience accumulate over time. Those experiences make them better PIC’s. As…
Their behaviors change and they learn more about how to operate and handle abnormal situations. Pg 14
Being a PIC is not merely about acting on your own…
To the contrary, the most effective PIC’s rely on their crew, thier resources, and the factors surrounding the entire fight environment. Pg 14-15
SIC
Second in Command or first Officer. Pg 15
Define delegate
to commit (powers, functions, etc.) to another agent or deputy. Pg 17
PIC and PF are synonymous
False -The jobs of PF(Pilot Flying) and PM( Pilot Monitoring) can be assigned to either the PIC or SIC Pg 17
Why must there be pilot, co-pilot, first officers, pilot flying, pilot Monitoring?
Because pilots are human. and “To err is human”. Pg. 18
Alexander Pope “ To err is humane;…
to forgive, divine.
Pg. 18
There needs to be recognition of the natural occurrence of error in anything humans do.
By devine grace, messing up every once in awhile, is forgivable. Pg 19
The International Ergonomics Assoc defines Ergonomics as…
The scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system.. in order to optimize human well being and overall system performance pg19
The discipline of ergonomics is broken into 3 distinct domains.
Physical, cognitive, organizational Pg 19
The organizational domain of ergonomic study is home to.
CRM and TEM pg19
TEM is an acronym for what
Threat Error Management pg 19
Threats are defined as events or errors that:
-Occur outside the influence of the flight crew ( not caused by the crew)
-Increase the the operational complexity of a flight; and
-Require crew attention and management if safety margins are to be maintained.
Errors are defined as flight crew actions or in actions that:
-Lead to a deviation from crew or organizational intentions or expectations.
-Reduce safety margins; and
-Increase the probability of adverse operational events on the ground or during the flight Pg 20
-
CRM TEM emphasizes the mantra. “Managing Threats is managing the _________, managing ERRORS is managing the _______”
future/past pg20
Accident causation model
Swiss Cheese model pg 21
Swiss cheese model
If a threat is not caught and managed there is a chance that it will turn into an error.
-An error can be visualized as a hole in the cheese. pg 21
Cheese layers
Top layer
next layer
final layer
Some sort of organizational influence- ie training, culture, management
next layer latent threats, which are barriers to safe operation, may or may not be detectable by flight crew.
Final layer “Last chance layer” pg 21
SEA-ICE is likely what
A method of crew briefing
Define the SEA-ICE mnemonic
S- Safety and Security
E-Equipment (inoperative equipment, etc)
A-Abnormal procedures
ICE- In Case of Emergency
What is the most important briefing you can conduct
FFOT- First of the Flight
It sets the tone and establishes lines of communication between the crew. pg 37
